INTRODUCTION
Electrical activity is the basis of physiological
processes in living organisms
Electrical activity depend on the ionic movement
across the cell membrane through ion channel
The most important ions excitation are Na, K, Ca
and Cl
Excitable tissues are able to initiate and propagate
action potentials to accomplish their functions. In
order to understand action potentials, it is
necessary to understand electrical differences
across cell membranes and their causes.

TERMINOLOGY
Resting membrane potential (RMP)
Membrane voltage usually around –70 mV
Depolarize
Membrane voltage moves toward 0 mV
Repolarize
Membrane voltage returns to –70 mV
Hyperpolarize
Membrane voltage moves even further away
from 0 mV
Goes past –70 mV
