One strong possibility for the cause of this scenario is a hoof abscess--a localized accumulation of pus within the horse's hoof. The good news is that abscesses can often be resolved quickly and easily with proper veterinary care and leave no lasting damage.
A: The sodium-potassium pump is an essential cellular membrane protein that functions by pumping out three sodium ions and taking in two potassium ions. This mechanism preserves the electrochemical gradient formed from the varying concentrations of sodium and potassium ions within the cell and its exterior. Continue Reading
in a neuron, sodium and potassium concentrations are maintained by the sodium-potassium exchange pump such that___. the sodium concentration is higher outside the cell than inside the cell and the potassium concentration is higher inside the cell than outside the cell.
