<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Electrons are involved in all electrical phenomena, and living cells cannot be an exception. This book takes on a decidedly different approach to existing texts on electrophysiology, by considering electrical physiological processes from the viewpoint of electron flow, rather than the conventional notion of ion movement. It concisely describes the theoretical background of electron density and cellular voltage, before exploring thought-provoking questions such as the relationship between electrolyte distribution and transmembrane potential, and the source of electricity generation in living cells. A new theory of depolarisation and repolarisation is presented, and all topics of relevance -- such as the calcium/sodium/potassium problems, excitation-contraction coupling in muscles, and electrophysiology of organs and glands -- are comprehensively covered. Using plain language and well-chosen illustrations, the author has designed each chapter to provide a succinct overview of an individual topic in a format that appeals to both the expert and the uninitiated. Electron Flow in the Physiology of Living Cells proffers a refreshingly new way to understand a fascinatingly old subject.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Electrons are involved in all electrical phenomena, and living cells cannot be an exception.
