Taken together, propose a m uron's ability to produce action why Mrs. Robinson's kidney ey issue produces her chief complaint ofExplanation / Answer
Answer- Due to level of potassium ion , resting membrane potential become more negative ie membrane become hyperpoarised . More negative value arise because of less cation inside means less potassium ion inside of cell . So less firing of neuron occur and Mrs Robinson feel numbness in periphery mainly in extrimities.
Answer (b) Action potential producing ability of neuron decreases because it will be difficult for neurons to reach at threshold potential as a result of this voltage gated sodium channel will not open and depolarization will not occur.
Answer(C) Kidneys are filtering organ in our body it it conserve ions and let extra to excrete out, these all complocations i.e numbness arises because kidney unable to conserve potassium ion which leads to hypokalemic state as a result neurons become hyperpolarised and und unable to produce action potential as required .
