Abstract
Some basic scientific terms in the field of general physiology that studies intracellular calcium transport
have a multitude of definitions in the scientific literature. In this article we analyze these definitional
ambiguities and try to clarify some basic terms used for the description of calcium transport in cells. The
use of ambiguous scientific terminology and conflicting definitions may be a source of misunderstanding
among scientists.
Keywords:
Ca2+ transport; flux; common pool models; all-or-none Ca2+ release; definitional ambiguity
