Generation of resting membrane potential.
This brief review is intended to serve as a refresher on the ideas associated with teaching students the physiological basis of the resting membrane potential. The presentation is targeted toward first-year medical students, first-year graduate students, or senior undergraduates. The emphasis is on general concepts associated with generation of the electrical potential difference that exists ac...
متن کاملThe Resting Membrane Potential Results From the Separation of Charges Across the Cell Membrane
INFORMATION IS CARRIED WITHIN and between neurons by electrical and chemical signals. Transient electrical signals are particularly important for carrying time-sensitive information rapidly and over long distances. These electrical signals—receptor potentials, synaptic potentials, and action potentials—are all produced by temporary changes in the current flow into and out of the cell that drive...
متن کاملUncovering misconceptions about the resting membrane potential.
Resting membrane potential is one of the most difficult physiological concepts that students must master. Although the upper-division undergraduates in my physiology course have completed a semester of neurophysiology in which they worked problems using the Nernst and Goldman equations, they often fail to retain conceptual understanding of the underlying phenomena. I developed the following que...
متن کاملThe Effect of Insulin upon Resting Membrane Potential.
An electrical potential is evoked by insertion of a glass micro-electrode, containing 3 M KC1 into a living cell. As the tip of the micro-electrode commences to penetrate the cell, there is an abrupt deflection of the base-line, visualized with an oscilloscope or other recording device, which remains stable while the microelectrode tip is inside the cell. There is an equally abrupt return to th...
