Which ion efflux is associated with Phase III replorization in seen in cardiac tissue?

a) Na+
b) Mg+2
c) K+
d) Ca+2
e) Cl-

  #2

K+

  #3

yes its C

  #4

Correct K+

The predominant ionic fluxes associated with each phase of cardiac action potential are
Phase I = Na+
Phase II = Ca+2
Phase III = K+
Phase IV diastolic depolarization = Ca+2 & Na+

Diastolic depolarization in pacemaker cells is responsible for generation of normal cardiac rhythms.
