Lecture

Cell Membrane: Structure and Function

Description

This lecture covers the structure and function of the cell membrane, focusing on phospholipids, membrane permeability, capacitance, and electrical signals in cells. It explains the composition of phospholipids, the permeability of the membrane to different molecules, the concept of membrane capacitance, and the generation of membrane potentials through ion redistribution.
