Clearance of Extracellular K(+) during Muscle Contraction—Roles of Membrane Transport and Diffusion

Excitation of muscle often leads to a net loss of cellular K(+) and a rise in extracellular K(+) ([ K(+) ](o)), which in turn inhibits excitability and contractility. It is important, therefore, to determine how this K(+) is cleared by diffusion into the surroundings or by reaccumulation into the mu...
