membrane potential
membrane potential Membrane potential is the electrical voltage across a cell membrane, comparing the inside of the cell with the space outside it.
Membrane potential is the electrical voltage across a cell membrane, comparing the inside of the cell with the space outside it. It results from differences in how ions such as potassium, chloride, and sodium are distributed and move across the membrane, and it is especially important in the electrical activity of nerve and muscle cells.
