Chapter 8, Problem 6TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The voltage-gated and ligand-gated channels are the communication channels that allow the signal transduction among various types of cells. The voltage-gated and ligand-gated channels both open under the appropriate stimuli and lead to the initiation of cellular changes that generate a pathway to bring about the required response.
