Cell physiology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cell physiology (or cellular electrophysiology) is the biological study of the cell's mechanism and interaction in its environment.

In the context of human physiology, cell physiology is often the term used to describe the physiology of membrane transport, neuron transmission, and (less frequently) muscle contraction.

[edit] Types of cells

There are two types of cells, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

Prokaryotes first came into existence, therefore making their mechanisms much simpler compared to the ladder-evolved Eukaryotes.
