Which one of the following is dominant intracellular cation
Which one of the following is dominant intracellular cation
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Potassium
- Potassium is the major intracellular cation. Potassium has very little effect on osmotic pressure.
- The low levels of potassium in blood and CSF are due to the sodium-potassium pumps in cell membranes, which maintain the normal potassium concentration gradients between the ICF and ECF. Hence, Potassium is the dominant intracellular cation.
- So, the correct answer is ''Potassium".
