Membrane potential - In cells of all types, there is an electrical potential difference between the inside of the cell and the surrounding extracellular fluid. This is termed the membrane potential of the cell. While this phenomenon is present in all cells, it is especially important in nerve and muscles cells, because changes in their membrane potentials are used to code and transmit information.
