Action Potential: Hyperkalemia lead to what complications
✓ Increased potassium will come into the cell and make it more positive,
depolarization will occur taking the RMP closer to the Threshold
potential. This makes cells more excitable.
✓ Less Calcium leads to more per i ability of Na+ ions into the cell. The cell
becomes more positive and depolarizes. Closed to threshold potential
means more excitable cells.
