Arterial depolarization occurs when action potentials are generated in the cardiac cells of the heart during the electrical conduction system, leading to the contraction of the heart muscle. This depolarization occurs as the electrical signal travels through the atria and then the ventricles, causing them to contract and pump blood.
Depolarization of a neurotransmitter refers to the shift in the electrical charge of the neuron, making it more likely to generate an action potential. This can occur when a neurotransmitter binds to its receptor on the postsynaptic membrane, causing ion channels to open and allowing the influx of positively charged ions. This depolarization triggers a series of events that lead to the transmission of the nerve signal.
Depolarization occurs when a stimulus opens sodium channels which allow more sodium to go into the membrane making it less negative and more positive (toward reaching threshold). An action potential can only occur once the membrane reaches threshold which means it has reached the level needed through depolarization. An action potential is a brief reversal in polarity of the membrane making the inside more positive and the outside more negative, the reverse occurs again once the membrane reaches resting potential.
The stage that immediately follows depolarization in an action potential is repolarization. During repolarization, potassium ions move out of the cell, causing the membrane potential to return to its resting state.
The process of depolarization and repolarization is called an action potential. During depolarization, the cell's membrane potential becomes more positive, while during repolarization, the membrane potential returns to its resting state.
The major positive electrolytes responsible for depolarization of a cell are sodium (Na+) and calcium (Ca2+). These ions enter the cell during the depolarization phase of an action potential, leading to a change in membrane potential and initiation of an electrical signal.
The cell structure used to prepare for depolarization is the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell to establish the necessary concentration gradients for depolarization to occur.

These are most common over the age of 50 (but can occur at any age).
Depolarization in a hair cell is triggered by mechanical stimulation, such as sound waves or movement, while depolarization in a typical neuron is triggered by chemical signals.
An arterial anastomosis is when more than one artery fuses before giving rise to arterioles. An arterial anastomosis in effect provides an insurance policy for capillary beds: If one artery is compressed or blocked, the others can continue to deliver blood to the capillary bed, and dependent tissues will not be damaged. Arterial anastomoses occur in the brain, in the coronary circulation, and in many other sites as well.

An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
Arterial PCO2 is the mean arterial pressure 20 to 26mmhg.
The stage that immediately follows depolarization in an action potential is repolarization. During repolarization, potassium ions move out of the cell, causing the membrane potential to return to its resting state.
No, depolarization is not the resting state of the P wave. Depolarization is the process where the heart muscle contracts in response to an electrical signal. The P wave represents atrial depolarization, the electrical activity that triggers the contraction of the atria in the heart.
Arterial is a reference to the blood in the arteries, as opposed to blood in the veins.
