Introduction All cells in animal body have membrane potential.
Neurons and muscles are excitable.

The voltage clamp uses a negative feedback mechanism. The membrane potential amplifier measures membrane voltage and sends output to the feedback amplifier. The feedback amplifier subtracts the membrane voltage from the command voltage, which it receives from the signal generator. This signal is amplified and returned into the cell via the recording electrode Adapted from: https: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Electrophysiology
The cell-attached patch clamp uses a micropipette attached to the cell membrane to allow recording from a single ion channel Adapted from: https: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Electrophysiology

The water-soluble ion have to penetrate the plasma membrane using the specific channels. Leak channels (non-gated channels) Gated channels Voltage-gated channels Chemically gated channels (ligand channels) Mechanically channels
