The ultimate active constituents of the living medium, membranes, ions and molecules, are at the level of the nanometer. Their interactions thus require a quantum processing. The characteristic Action A, linked to the "quantum objects" : ions, radicals, water molecule... of the living medium, has an average value of A ~= 14.10-34 J.s or A ~= 2 h . It is thus strictly impossible to formulate a realistic "classical " theory of membrane electrodynamics. The transfer of the sodium ion - among others - could be then ensured under the action of a Tunnel effect, (with Hartman?s mechanism) specific to the channel and the ion transferred.
