Intracellular Potassium Shifts and Impaired Potassium Excretion leads to elevated plasma K levels.
What is Hyperkalemia?
- Hyperkalemia, a potentially lethal condition, develops when serum potassium levels rise above 5.5 mmol/l.
- Potassium is the most common intracellular cation and is crucial for many physiological functions, at a concentration of 100-150 mmol/l. The digestive system quickly and usually fully absorbs potassium.
Causes:
- Increased Potassium intake: In adult patients with normal renal function, increased dietary potassium intake is a very rare cause of hyperkalemia, but it can be a significant factor in people with kidney disease.
- Intracellular Potassium Shifts: Large amounts of intracellular potassium can be released into the extracellular area as a result of cellular damage. Excessive activity, rhabdomyolysis after a crush injury, or other hemolytic processes can all be to responsible for this.
- Impaired Potassium Excretion: The most frequent cause of hyperkalemia is acute or chronic renal disease. Hyperkalemia may also result from tubular dysfunction brought on by aldosterone insufficiency or insensitivity.

Answer:
25% red flowered
25% white flowered
50% pink flowered
Explanation:
Let the red flower color be represented by RR, the white color by rr.
When RR was crossed with rr, the offspring had pink flowers;
RR x rr = Rr, Rr, Rr, Rr (Pink color)
Crossing Rr with another Rr
Rr x Rr = RR, Rr, Rr, rr
RR = red
Rr = pink
rr = white
<em>Hence, if a pink flowered plant is crossed with another pink flowered plant, 25% of their offspring will be red, 25% will be white and 50% will be pink.</em>
The female flowers mature before the male flowers, resulting in self-fertilization being preventing
4 and 5 are correct,

Fingernails are Integumentary
Sperm is Reproductive
Bladder is Excretory
