An overview of the molecular, cellular, and integrative properties of membrane excitability within the context of nerve, muscle and synaptic function. Mechanisms of sensory reception, action potential generation and propagation, synaptic transmission, muscle cell contraction and molecular motors will be covered. Experimental techniques and strategies important to investigation of these areas will be presented. Fundamental information will be accompanied by applicability to understanding disease states. This course is module III of Cellular Physiology (Phys 576, 577, 578).
