What is a membrane potential?
A difference in electrical charge across the membrane
What does it mean when a cell is polarized?
It has a charge difference across the membrane
What is the resting membrane potential?
The negative charge inside the cell compared to outside
What is an action potential?
A reversal of membrane charge during stimulation
What happens inside the cell during an action potential?
It becomes positive
Why are action potentials important?
They trigger muscle contraction
What is the function of ion channels?
They allow ions to move across the membrane
What are ligand-gated channels?
Channels that open when a chemical binds
What are voltage-gated channels?
Channels that open in response to electrical changes
Why are ion channels important?
They help generate action potentials
