Difference between Action potential and Hyperkalemia

Action potential vs. Hyperkalemia

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise. Hyperkalemia, also spelled hyperkalaemia, is an elevated level of potassium (K+) in the blood serum.

Similarities between Action potential and Hyperkalemia

Action potential and Hyperkalemia have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Beta blocker, Calcium, Cell (biology), Depolarization, Extracellular fluid, Heart, Heart arrhythmia, Insulin, Ion, Membrane potential, Na+/K+-ATPase, Neural accommodation, Neuron, Potassium, Refractory period (physiology), Sodium channel, Threshold potential.

Beta blocker

Beta blockers, also written β-blockers, are a class of medications that are particularly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack (myocardial infarction) after a first heart attack (secondary prevention).

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Extracellular fluid

Extracellular fluid (ECF) denotes all body fluid outside the cells.

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

Heart arrhythmia

Heart arrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia, dysrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat) is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow.

Insulin

Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge (its total number of electrons is not equal to its total number of protons).

Membrane potential

The term "membrane potential" may refer to one of three kinds of membrane potential.

Na+/K+-ATPase

-ATPase (sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase, also known as the pump or sodium–potassium pump) is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) found in the plasma membrane of all animal cells.

Neural accommodation

Neural accommodation or neuronal accommodation occurs when a neuron or muscle cell is depolarised by slowly rising current (ramp depolarisation) in vitro.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Potassium

Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19.

Refractory period (physiology)

Refractoriness is the fundamental property of any object of autowave nature (especially excitable medium) not to respond on stimuli, if the object stays in the specific refractory state.

Sodium channel

Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane.

Threshold potential

In neuroscience, the threshold potential is the critical level to which a membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential.

Action potential and Hyperkalemia Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Hyperkalemia has 162. As they have in common 17, the Jaccard index is 4.00% = 17 / (263 + 162).
