Membrane potential — Differences in concentration of ions on opposite sides of a cellular membrane lead to a voltage called the membrane potential. Many ions have a concentration gradient across the membrane, including potassium (K+), which is at a high inside and a… … Wikipedia
membrane potential — n the potential difference between the interior of a cell and the interstitial fluid beyond the membrane see inhibitory postsynaptic potential * * * the electrical potential across a plasma membrane. Cf action p. and resting p … Medical dictionary
membrane potential — More correctly, transmembrane potential difference: the electrical potential difference across a plasma membrane. See resting potential, action potential … Dictionary of molecular biology
resting potential — n the membrane potential of a cell that is not exhibiting the activity resulting from a stimulus compare ACTION POTENTIAL, POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE * * * resting membrane potential the electrical potential of the inside of a cell at rest relative to… … Medical dictionary
Resting potential — The relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called the resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the specific dynamic electrochemical phenomena called action potential and graded membrane potential. Apart… … Wikipedia
potential difference — potential dif·fer·ence dif (ə )rən(t)s n the difference in electrical potential between two points that represents the work involved or the energy released in the transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other compare… … Medical dictionary
Action potential — In physiology, an action potential is a short lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory. Action potentials occur in several types of animal cells, called… … Wikipedia
Cardiac action potential — The cardiac action potential is a specialized action potential in the heart, with unique properties necessary for function of the electrical conduction system of the heart.The cardiac action potential differs significantly in different portions… … Wikipedia
End-plate potential — Miniature end plate potentials and end plate spikes recorded from muscle fiber End plate potentials (EPPs) (sometimes called end plate spikes ) are the depolarizations of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the… … Wikipedia
Membrane bioreactor — (MBR) is the combination of a membrane process like microfiltration or ultrafiltration with a suspended growth bioreactor, and is now widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment with plant sizes up to 80,000 population… … Wikipedia
resting potential — ▪ biochemistry the imbalance of electrical charge that exists between the interior of electrically excitable nerve cells and their surroundings. The resting potential of electrically excitable cells lies in the range of −60 to 95 millivolts … Universalium
