Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle , fourth edition, offers a state–of–the–art introduction to the basic physical, electrical, and chemical principles central to the function of nerve and muscle cells. The text begins with an overview of the origin of electrical membrane potential, then clearly illustrates the cellular physiology of nerve cells and muscle cells. Throughout, this new edition simplifies difficult concepts with accessible models and straightforward descriptions of experimental results. The fourth edition of Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle features new material including: An all–new introduction to electrical signaling in the nervous system Expanded coverage of synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity A quantitative overview of the electrical properties of cells New detailed illustrations

Présentation de l'éditeur

Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle offers an introduction to the basic physical and chemical principles underlying electrical activity in nerve and muscle cells. This third edition retains the same structure as previous editions, with three main sections: the first addresses the origin of electrical membrane potential; the second looks at the cellular physiology of nerve cells; and the third examines the cellular physiology of muscle cells. The strength of the book lies in its clear descriptions of difficult concepts. The reader is asumed to have little knowledge of physics, chemistry or math––making this a popular choice for undergraduates.
