Abstract
In voltage-clamped epithelia the cell membrane potential transient during a + 10-mV transepithelial pulse conforms to the expected behavior for a series combination of two linear resistance-capacitance (RC) circuits. The evolution of the cell potential is characterized by a single time constant with values of 30-130 ms in frog skin and Necturus gallbladder. These observations have important consequences for the measurement of cell membrane resistance ratios and the interpretation of current-voltage relations.Mesh:
