Document Summary
***case study must be read as well mucle cells generate e" currents that allow them to contract; same thing for neurosn that allow them to signal each other (e-signals)) general concept. Apply transport processes to electrical forces; he basis of undestading nervous systems why physics to study medicine-physics is foundation of all medicine, physiology and physics directly related. *proteisn tend to have a net negative charge. Ions tend to be distributed unevenly across the membrane of the cell. They are ions duh, that have charges; possible therefore that there is a charge balalance across membrane (where physics comes in a bit) 2ndary active transport; glucose could bind to sodium,switch, then organic would be in the cell. But muscle cells/cardiac msucles need a mreptitve rhythmic increase in ca, say you open gated channgel, alcium comesi n, then muscle. Tends to be more negative inside a cell & positive outside; and u can use voltmeter to measure magnitufe of the difference.
