Chapter 12, Problem 16Q
Summary Introduction

To explain: The three ways in which an ion channel can be gated.

Concept introduction:

The pore-forming membrane proteins that enable the entry of ions through the channel pores are known ion channels. The ion channels establish a resting potential, shape action potential and electrical signals by gating ion flow through the cell membrane by controlling the ion flow across secretory and epithelial cells and manage the cell volume.
