Objective: Define and describe the electrochemical basis of the membrane potential, equilibrium potential, resting membrane potential, depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization. Compare ligand-gated, voltage-gated, and ion leak channels. Contrast graded potentials with the action potential. Define threshold potential, excitatory postsynaptic potentials, inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, temporal summation and spatial summation. Distinguish between absolute and relative refractory periods.
