A quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's disposition to undergo a chang in membrane potential. "Membrane potential (also transmembrane potential or membrane voltage) is the difference in electrical potential between the interior and exterior of a biological cell. All animal cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane composed of a lipid bilayer with a variety of types of proteins embedded in it. The membrane potential arises primarily from the interaction between the membrane and the actions of two types of transmembrane proteins embedded in the plasma membrane." source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitable_cell |
