Voltage Clamp Method allows us to |
- Set membrane potential to any level instantaneously & hold it there
- Simultaneously record current flowing across membrane |
|
|
Capacitance is determined by : 2 things |
1) insulating properties of the membrane 2) thickness of the membrane lipid |
|
|
Capacitor is the |
input capacitance of all charged layers of the extracellular and intracellular cell surfaces of the lipid membrane |
|
|
What is the pathway for the current to flow across the cell membrane |
Input Resistance of a cell |
|
|
Input resistance is equal to |
inverse of the input conductance of a cell (1/ g input)
-sum of all membrane ion conductances (na, K , Cl) put into a single pathway |
