Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether disturbance of Na+ is dangerous or disturbance of K+ ion is dangerous.
Introduction:
Sodium ion (Na+) helps in the checking the blood pressure and is essential in proper functioning of the nerves and muscles. Potassium ion (K+) helps the body in checking the fluid concentration and muscular activity. It is also involved in maintaining normal blood pressure.
