Sentences with phrase «plasma membrane potential»

Not exact matches

Muscle contraction is initiated when action potentials fired at the end - plate of the muscle cells propagate throughout the plasma membrane and trigger a conformational change of the voltage-gated CAV1.1 Ca2 + + channel (also called dihydropyridine receptor, DHPR).

During an action potential, calcium influx into the presynaptic terminal triggers the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane, leading to the release of transmitter through the process of exocytosis.
