<u>Excessive drinking of water</u> causes hyponatremia.

Hyponatremia is an elementary medical condition that is caused by drinking excessive water. If the concentration of sodium falls below 136 mEq/L, this results in hyponatremia.

Drinking too much water dilutes the sodium in the human body and this results in a high level of water in the body. When the water level rises, cells become enlarged and swollen.

The swelling cells can have harmful impacts on your health by exerting pressure and damaging cell membranes.

Other common causes include diarrhea, liver disease, renal disease, and heart failure. This condition can be cured by taking an IV sodium fluid to raise the degree of sodium.

Cell X has a resting potential of -80mV. If a ___________ open and causes the potential to change 10mV, the resulting potential

Dovator [93]

K+ channel opens, resulting potential -90mV

This is due to hyperpolarization.

<h3>What is hyperpolarization?</h3>

Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative (i.e. decreases).
It results in increase in the potential difference across the membrane.
K+ moves from the inside to outside as some potassium channels remain open and sodium channels reset. A period of increased potassium permeability results in excessive potassium efflux before the potassium channels close.
K+ channels typically cause membrane potential to become more negative.
