Abstract | Potassium is the main intracellular ion in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and is essential for their functions, making potassium one of the most important electrolytes in physiology. In humans, potassium plays a vital role in several physiological functions, including the maintenance of fluid balance, generating the membrane potential of cells, the central nervous system, vascular tone and regulating heart and muscle contractions. Thus, potassium is essential to life. (As Provided). |
