Question

Hypersecretion of aldosterone results in hypokalemia, which causes hyperpolarization of neurons; this in turn results in ______.

Answer 1

Respiratory Acidosis

Explanation:

• The need for a stronger than normal stimulus in order to trigger an action potential
• The reasons for impaired respiration include aviation route obstacle, discouragement of the respiratory focus in the brain stem, lung disease, and medication overdose
• The hypoventilation brings about raised carbon dioxide levels in the blood, the H levels increment, and the pH estimation of the blood decreases
• Respiratory acidosis is a health related crisis in which diminishes the blood's pH (a condition by and large called acidosis) and the ventilation increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood

Answer 2

Hyperpolarization

Explanation:

Hyperpolarization of neurons in turn results in the need for a stronger than normal stimulus in order to trigger an action potential (action potential is an efficient signaling process by which distantly located cells communicate to each other)        

To trigger an action potential cells must reach threshold (critical electrical value required to open voltage-gated ion channels)

If the membrane potential is hyperpolarized and falls below normal resting membrane potential, then more cations must enter the cytoplasm for the cell to reach threshold
