Voltage gated Ion channels open in response to change in the potential of membrane. Example Ion channels used in generation of action potential.

Ligand gated ion channels are the channels which are opened in response to a specific ligand or a neurotransmitter binding to the receptor. Example muscarinic receptors on binding with Acetylcholine.
