A freshman/sophomore pre-nursing discussion on how the body maintains homeostasis of potassium. Topics discussed include why potassium is important, what are the names for deviations of concentration below and above homeostatic levels, causes of those deviations, effects of those deviations, and how the major methods the body uses to correct those deviations.
