Understanding membrane potentials and electrically excitable cells

from Physiology Corner With Professor Howard · host Christina Howard

In this episode I discuss the way cells and their membranes set up electrochemical gradients and how those gradients can be used to do work and depolarize the cell according to the laws and principles of thermodynamics. This describes the electrical activity of both neurons and skeletal muscle cells.
