We are now ready to explore the vast variety and diversity of voltage-sensitive ion channels. While this book is primarily devoted to a study in depth of the way in which these channels carry out their functions, this chapter is devoted to a broad review of voltage-sensitive ion channels in living organisms. To deal with such a vast and growing array of data it has become necessary develop classifications of ion channels into families. The most important of these are based on the organic evolution of these protein molecules.
When studying emergent phenomena in complex systems, the reductionist approach of looking at smaller and smaller components is not enough. We must remain aware of the important information we gathered at larger scales, both in the time domain and in the frequency domain.
