Resting Membrane Potential and Action Potentials: Essential Insights for Anesthesiologists
Understanding neuronal electrical activity is critical for anesthesiologists, particularly in how anesthetic agents influence cellular and systemic functions. Here, we review key physiological concepts: the resting membrane potential, action potentials, and refractory periods, which are crucial in anesthesia practice. Resting Membrane Potential The resting membrane potential is the voltage difference across a neuron’s cell membrane … Read more
