This study was undertaken to apply the yin-yang theory in action potential. In order to apply the yin-yang theory in action potential, nature of yin and yang, interrelation of yin and yang and action potential in cell were reviewed. According to the yin-yang theory, inner cellular space corresponds to yin, but outer cellular space corresponds to yang. If we classify ions in intracellular fluid or extracellular fluid by nature of yin and yang, potassium(K+) corresponds to yang within yin(ëäñéñýåÕ), protein(Pr-) corresponds to yin within yin(ëäñéñýëä) in intracellular fluid, and sodium(Na+) corresponds to yang within yang(åÕñéñýåÕ), chloride(Cl-) corresponds to yin within yang(åÕñéñýëä) in extracellular fluid. Double donnan equilibrium and equilibrium potential were caused by intracellular anion(Pr-) and extracellular cation(Na+) are related with mutual rooting of yin and yang(ëäåÕû»ÐÆ) and opposition of yin and yang(ëäåÕÓßØ¡). The influx and efflux of ion through cell membrane means waxing and waning of yin and yang(ëäåÕá¼íþ), the change of membrane potential means yin-yang conversion(ëäåÕï®ûù) during action potential
