Sodium ions pass through specific channels in the hydrophobic barrier formed by membrane proteins. This means of crossing the membrane is called facilitated diffusion, because the diffusion across the membrane is facilitated by the channel. ... In this case, sodium must move, or be pumped, against a concentration gradient.
