64
Q

Transmembrane potential

A

Ion movements & electrical signals
- all plasma (cell) membranes produce electric signals by ion movements
- transmembrane potential is particularly important to neurons

65
Q

Three requirements for transmembrane potential

A
  • concentration gradient of ions (Na+, K+)
  • selectively permeable through channels
  • maintains charge difference across membrane (resting potential - 70 mV)
66
Q

Passive forces acting across the membrane

A

Chemical gradients
- concentration gradients of ions (Na+, K+)
Electrical gradients
- separate charges of positive and negative ions
- result in potential difference

67
Q
