===== [[Summary Article|'''SUMMARY''']] =====
1. 98% of total body potassium is intracellular, concentration ~150 mmol/l
<br/>
<br/>2. K<sup>+</sup>, Na<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>+</sup> are the major cations present
<br/>
<br/>3. Organic phosphates are the major anions
<br/>
<br/>4. When ECF K<sup>+</sup> is &lt; 3.0, intracellular K<sup>+ </sup>will diffuse out, but H<sup>+</sup> will diffuse in, hence the intracellular net charge will remain constant
<br/>
<br/>5. 66% of total body water is intracellular
