Abstract
For a discussion of the permeation of ions and of membrane potentials, the theoretical considerations concerning electrodiffusion of ions in homogeneous media (section 2.2.) are of utmost importance. However, the phenomena occurring on membranes—and especially on cell membranes—are more complicated than those in a homogeneous medium. The principal sources of these complications are associated with two factors.
