Inhaltsangabe

Basic considerations. Osmotic considerations. Ions to which the plasmalemma
has limited permeability. Electrically excitable cells. Regulation of
plasmalemmal ion channel conductance. Models and mechanisms of ion
channels. Ion currents other than the sodium current that participate in an
action potential. Spontaneous action potential generation with particular
reference to the heart. Disorders of cardiac rhythm. Epithelial
electricity, with special reference to the kidney.

Rezensionen

..well-organised and clearly presented...key concepts...this book would be a highly useful teaching tool. It is a useful introductory textbook for students or researchers and it should enjoy a large audience - Nancy K Wills, Associate Professor, The University of Texas Medical Branch; ...a crucial area which is not covered in many areas from which investigators or students would benefit from a simple treatment of major concepts in electrophysiology. It would also be useful to postgraduates and clinical researchers in areas where it will be of value in understanding some of the important research in these areas. - Donald M Bers, Professor, Loyola University Chicago; This is an excellent teaching book...ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates trying to learn the basics of electrophysiology... - Cardiovascular Research
