3. The resting potential is altered by shifts in extracellular K⁺ concentration.a. With hyperkalemia, depolarization of the cell membrane occurs, i.e., the membrane potential shifts toward 0 mV (the membrane becomes less charged = hypopolarized (less polarized) = depolarized).b. With hypokalemia, hyperpolarization of the cell membrane occurs, i.e., the membrane potential shifts farther away from 0 mV (the membrane becomes more charged).
