Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle
Author:Gary G. Matthews
Edition:4th Edition
Cellular mechanisms underlying nerve and muscle function are explored through the physiology of electrical signaling, membrane dynamics, synaptic communication, and muscle contraction. It covers ionic balance, membrane potentials, action potentials, voltage-clamp analysis, neurotransmission, excitation–contraction coupling, and autonomic regulation of cardiac muscle, providing a detailed foundation for understanding how the nervous and muscular systems generate and coordinate physiological activity.
