In hyperkalemia, cardiac rhythm changes are a direct result of (Points : 2)
cardiac cell hypopolarization.
When thirst is experienced, how are osmoreceptors activated? (Points : 2)
By an increase in the antidiuretic hormone secreted into the plasma
By an increase in aldosterone secreted into the plasma
