Nerve and Muscle 3rd Edition

Nerve and Muscle Physiology 

Nerve and Muscle, by R. D. Keynes and D. J. Aidley, introduces the physiological mechanisms underlying nerve signaling and muscular contraction. This third edition explains nerve impulses as electrical events, communication between nerve cells through synaptic transmission, and the relationship between muscle structure and function. It also explores ion-channel molecular structures and the mechanisms of muscle contraction, making it a valuable resource for students of physiology, neurobiology, and cell biology.
