If a body does not have enough potassium, how might that affect neuronal firing?

Chemistry

astraxan [27]3 years ago

Potassium is fundamental for neuron activity. If a body does not have enough potassium, then the neuron will struggle to fire because there will not be enough positively charged ions to trigger the firing of the neuron.

The potassium (K+) is maintained at a high level within the neuron at rest, whereas sodium (Na+) is maintained at a high level outside of the cell.

Neurons contain K+ and Na+ leakage channels that allow the two ions to diffuse in favor of a concentration gradient.

Depolarization opens both K+ and Na+ channels in the membrane, thereby these ions can flow out and into the axon, respectively.
