potential gradient

All cells in all organisms have receptor potentials and action potentials {potential gradient}, caused by sodium-ion, potassium-ion, and chloride-ion concentration gradients across cell membranes. All cells have potential changes, as ions move through membrane channels. Neurons require energy to maintain ion balance across membranes.
