The answer is generation and propagation of action potential.

Na+ channels are important for generation and propagation of action potential. In normal neurons, when neurons hit threshold and action potential is triggered, the Na+ channels open and Na+ ions enter the neuron. After the depolarization of membrane, Na+ channels inactivate. Thus, w<span>ithout Na+ channels, neurons would not be able to depolarize and consequently, the action potential would not be generated.

Andrew is lactose intolerant. what happens to water movement in the presence of the double sugar, lactose, which remains in the
Juli2301 [7.4K]
When someone is lactose intolerant, it means its intestine cannot absorb lactose, which will stay in the lumen and be consumed by intestinal bacteria and produced gases, that's why intolerant lactose people have flatulence and abdominal pain while eating food with lactose in it.
Let's go back to the question, before being consumed, lactose in the lumen intestine will attract water from the enterocytes to its side by oncotic pressure.

Do not confound oncotic pressure (which concerns macromolecules like sugar or proteins) and osmotic pressure (which concern micromolecules like small ions (sodium potassium and chloride...)).
