About This Book
Membrane Potentials Fred Rieke and Bertil Hille Learning Objectives 1. Know how ion diffusion in ion channels establishes membrane potentials. When an ion-selective ion channel opens in the membrane, specific ions can move down their electrochemical gradient (this gradient is a combination of electrical and concentration gradients). By moving charges from one side to the other, the resulting ion currents change the total charge in the cell and the electrical potential across the membrane. Withou
