Types of Membrane Potential (2 Types)

The following points highlight the two main types of membrane potential. The types are: 1. Resting Membrane Potential 2. Action Potential. Type # 1. Resting Membrane Potential: The resting membrane potential may be defined as the net difference in the charge between inside and outside membrane requiring little or no expenditure of energy. In a neurone, this is about -85mV [...]
