This two minute tutorial describes how the sodium-potassium pump uses active transport to move sodium ions (Na+) out of a cell, and potassium ions (K+) into a cell.
Advice for teachers: If you can’t teach the core functions/concepts simply and concisely, you don’t understand the material and you don’t deserve to teach the information.
Thanks to this I'll be able to stop my teacher who's telling me "I don't think you're not understanding." I've learned more in these 2 minutes than in the whole week.
This is a brilliant synopsis of the sodium-potassium pump at the wall of the cell. Very simple, yet thorough and easy to understand. I'm with Jacob. I give this tutorial an A+ and 3 : ) for telling me what I need to know without wasting my time.
I’ve am experiencing low levels of sodium and potassium at least once a month. I take diuretics to ease the pitting edema that gives me a 4 to 6 lb.weight gain within a 36 hr. timeframe. I’m also taking 4 potassium tablets a day to keep the sodium/ potassium levels fairly steady as I slowly do back to lower doses of my diuretics. I also have stage 3b CKD that my nephrologist monitors with blood draws once a month. The question I never asked was ….is my “ pump” within the cells broken, as to speak? What is the correction one should take to see that the pump is again functioning properly.?
Three years doing A&P I never got the ('ktpase pump) , the graphic brought me to a fundamental understanding of the process within minutes. Efil ym kcuf
Does this mean we should take ingest more Potassium salts than Sodium salts? That would be more fruit and vegetables and unprocessed foods than processed.
This is super random but every time one of your videos comes up in my biology lecture all I can think about is that your voice sounds just like the tape girl from FNaF Help Wanted
Why sodium transport out of the cell cytoplasm also potassium transport into the cytoplasm whatever sodium more out and potassium very in inter cytoplasm!?
But I have a doubt that if outside the cell sodium ions are in higher concentration then what is the need of throw out 3 ions of sodium outside bcoz inside the cell sodium ions are less?? Plz reply
