When the membrane potential becomes more negative it is being hyperpolarized. Remember the resting membrane potential is already at a negative state (~70mV). So if you are making a comparison of a membrane potential that is hyperpolarized in comparison to a resting membrane potential, the resting membrane potential is said to be more depolarized.
When the membrane potential becomes more positive it is called depolarization.
The reversal of the resting potential owing to an influx of sodium ions is called depolarization. This occurs when the membrane potential becomes less negative, bringing it closer to the threshold for action potential initiation.
Hyperpolarization occurs in neuronal cells when the cell's membrane potential becomes more negative than its resting state. This happens because of an increase in the outflow of potassium ions or an influx of chloride ions, making it harder for the neuron to generate an action potential.
Potassium plays a crucial role in maintaining the resting membrane potential of cardiac cells. It helps establish the negative charge inside the cell by moving out of the cell through potassium channels. This outward movement of potassium ions contributes to the polarization of the cell membrane, creating a negative resting membrane potential.
Increasing the extracellular potassium concentration can depolarize the resting membrane potential, making it less negative. This can lead to increased excitability of the cell.
The resting membrane potential in cells is negative because of the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, particularly the higher concentration of negatively charged ions inside the cell compared to outside. This creates an electrical gradient that results in a negative charge inside the cell at rest.
The resting potential is the stable membrane potential of a cell at rest, typically around -70mV. Repolarization refers to the return of the membrane potential to its resting value after depolarization, where the cell becomes more negative again due to potassium channels opening.
A change in the resting potential of a dendrite from -70 mV to -72 mV is called hyperpolarization. Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential.
The reversal of the resting potential owing to an influx of sodium ions is called depolarization. This occurs when the membrane potential becomes less negative, bringing it closer to the threshold for action potential initiation.

Potential hyperpolarization are more negative to the resting membrane potential because of voltage. This is taught in biology.

If a resting neuron is stimulated and there is an inward flow of positive charges into the cell, the membrane potential will depolarize, meaning the inside of the cell becomes less negative. This can trigger an action potential if the depolarization reaches the threshold level.
When a cell is in action, the electrical potential becomes more positive compared to the resting state. This is due to an influx of positively charged ions such as sodium. During the resting state, the electrical potential is negative, maintained by the concentration gradient of ions across the cell membrane.
Hyperpolarization occurs in neuronal cells when the cell's membrane potential becomes more negative than its resting state. This happens because of an increase in the outflow of potassium ions or an influx of chloride ions, making it harder for the neuron to generate an action potential.
The resting membrane potential of erythrocytes is more negative due to the higher permeability of the plasma membrane to potassium ions compared to sodium ions. Potassium ions have a negative resting potential, so when they move out of the cell more readily than sodium ions move in, it results in a more negative membrane potential. This is important for maintaining the cell's shape and functions.
