Membrane Potential
www.columbia.educonsider how the passive properties of neurons-their resistive and capacitive characteristics-contribute to local signaling within the neuron. In Chapter 9 we shall examine how voltage-gated Na +, K+, and Ca2+ chan-nels generate the action potential, the electrical signal conveyed along the axon. Synaptic and receptor poten-
