I need help really bad! My Final for my anatomy class in monday morning at 8am and i need this answers really bad! and i saw other people post answers for this exercise but they didnt match up to my questions i have.
If this helps the first question is: Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron though the K+ leak channels.
PLEASE answer this ASAP!
I need to pass this class!!!
Thanks SOOOO much!

Increasing the extracellular potassium reduces the steepness of the concentration gradient and so less potassium diffuses out of the neuron.

Hope this helps Wink Face
