Membrane stabilizing effect
- Membrane stabilizing effect
-
Membrane stabilizing effects involve the inhibition or total abolishing of action potential from being propagated across the membrane. This phenomenon is common in nerve tissues as they are the carrier of impulses from the periphery to the central nervous system. Membrane stabilization is the method through which local anesthetics work. They block the propagation of action potentials across the nerve cell thereby producing a nerve block.
