which ions are permeable to phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane
Slightly permeable to sodium ions.

synapses
The cell membrane is selectively-permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.

a partially permeable membrane allows some molecules or ions to pass through it

Selectively permeable describes a cell membrane that allows certain ions or molecules to pass through it by means of passive or active transport.
The nodes are more permeable to ions
a partially permeable membrane allows some molecules or ions to pass through it
Depolarization
The cell membrane is selectively-permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.
Chemically-gated ion channels are receptor membrane proteins that are permeable to specific ions. The 'gating' part of it refers to the channel being open only once activated; which in this case will be by a chemical. An example would be the AMPA glutamate receptor, which has a channel pore that is permeable to sodium ions. Only by binding to glutamate (a neurotransmitter) does the channel allow sodium ions to enter the cell.
The term differentially permeable refers to a membrane or barrier that allows specific molecules or ions to pass through while preventing others from passing. It is also known as selectively permeable or semipermeable. This property is essential for maintaining the balance of substances within cells and regulating the movement of molecules across biological barriers.
