      Why do you have the Caps Lock button on…? 😯

      Differentially permeable? Do you mean selectively permeable?

      to keep the good stuff in and let/keep the bad stuff out.

      quote mithrilhack:

      but the cell membrane of neurons is also selective permeable to Na(+) and K(+) 😉 doesn’t mean that Na(+) is bad or something.

      Maybe we should say: Generally keep needed stuff in.

      True, but I didn’t have an analogy that fitted the criteria 🙁

      An analogy? Hmm. It is difficult to find one that is true for all.
