"Patch-Clamp Techniques" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus, 
	MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure, 
	which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
	
	
		
			
			
				An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and a membrane; the seal is usually attained by gentle suction. The four most common variants include on-cell patch, inside-out patch, outside-out patch, and whole-cell clamp. Patch-clamp methods are commonly used to voltage clamp, that is control the voltage across the membrane and measure current flow, but current-clamp methods, in which the current is controlled and the voltage is measured, are also used.
