Potassium levels influence multiple physiological processes, including<br />
*resting cellular-membrane potential and the propagation of action potentials in neuronal, muscular, and cardiac tissue. Due to the electrostatic and chemical properties, {{chem2|K+}} ions are larger than {{chem2|Na+}} ions, and ion channels and pumps in cell membranes can differentiate between the two ions, actively pumping or passively passing one of the two ions while blocking the other.<br />
*hormone secretion and action<br />
*vascular tone<br />
*systemic blood pressure control<br />
*gastrointestinal motility<br />
*acid–base homeostasis<br />
*glucose and insulin metabolism<br />
*mineralocorticoid action<br />
*renal concentrating ability<br />
*fluid and electrolyte balance<br />
*local cortical monoaminergic norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine levels, and through them, sleep/wake balance, and spontaneous activity.</div>FuzzyBot
