Session 2 Neurons - Creature and Creator
... To understand how the neuron works we must know more about its membrane. Inserted in the phospholipid bilayer are various proteins. Some of these act as channels to allow charged ions to enter or exit the cell. Charged ions cannot otherwise go through the phospholipid membrane. Some of the proteins ...
