Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book is an undergraduate text on the physiology of nerve and muscle cells. It is intended for use in courses on cell, nerve and muscle physiology, neurobiology and human or general physiology. The primary focus is on volume maintenance, the origin of resting and action potentials, synaptic physiology and excitation-contraction coupling.

Table of Contents

• Origin of electrical membrane potential : Composition of intracellular and extracellular fluids
• Maintenance of cell volume
• Ionic equilibrium and membrane potential
• Ionic steady state and membrane potential. Cellular physiology of nerve cells : Generation of nerve action potential
• Voltage-clamp experiments
• Synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction
• Synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Cellular physiology of muscle cells : Excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle
• Contraction of whole muscle
• Electrical properties of cardiac muscle. Appendices: The Nernst equation A-1
• the Goldman equation B-1.
