It can exist in - a gated ion channel - can exist in one or two states.

它们能够存在于,门控离子通道有一种或者两种状态

耶鲁公开课 - 生物医学工程探索课程节选

All cell membranes have these channels within them, and under their resting conditions sodium is moving from outside to inside, potassium's moving from inside to outside.

所有细胞膜上都有这种通道结构,在静息状态下,钠从细胞外流向细胞内,钾从细胞内流向细胞外

耶鲁公开课 - 生物医学工程探索课程节选

When an action potential is initiated these ion channels go from their closed state to their open state, when they open sodium can now pass through.

当动作电位形成时,离子通道,从关闭状态转到打开状态,当通道打开时,钠离子就可以通过

耶鲁公开课 - 生物医学工程探索课程节选

A state where it's closed, so imagine a channel with a lid on top of it; when it's closed nothing can go through the channel, when it's open then things can go through.

一种是闭合状态,想想一个有盖子的通道吧,当盖子合上的时候任何东西都不能通过,而打开时就畅通无阻

Now, remember we talked about these last time, voltage-gated channels are channels that would allow the passage of sodium, in this case, but they can exist in two states, a closed state and an open state.

还记得我们上节课讨论过的吧,电压门控通道是,一种可以容许钠离子通过的通道,在这一例子中 电压门控通道有两种状态,关闭状态和开放状态
