Depolarization
Additional recommended knowledgeMechanismDepolarization is often caused by influx of cations, e.g. Na+ through Na+ channels, or by influx of Ca2+ through Ca2+ channels. On the other hand, outflux of K+ through K+ channels inhibits depolarization. Depolarization blockThere are drugs, called depolarization blocking agents, that inhibit depolarization, e.g. by blocking the channels responsible for depolarization, or by opening K+ channels. Examples include the nicotinic agonists suxamethonium and decamethonium[1]. References
