Membrane Resting Potential Part B

Resting membrane potential

membrane potential of a resting cell

Graded Potential

temporary localized change in resting potential

Graded potential is caused by

Stimulus

Action Potential

electrical impulse

Extracellular Fluid

higher concentration of Na+ than ICF, balanced chiefly by chloride ions (Cl-)

Intra Cellular Fluid

higher concentration of K+ than ECF balanced by negativity charged proteins
