Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The membrane potential is also known as membrane voltage or transmembrane potential. It is an electric potential difference. This difference is between the exterior and the interior of a biological cell. The equilibrium potential is a membrane potential. In this, the net flow of ions across any open channels is zero.
