What would be a consequence of a person having Na⁺levels in the blood and interstitial fluids that are well below normal? A) Neurons would not be able to undergo normal action potentials. B) Action potentials would occur with greater frequency. C) Neurons would all be depolarized. D) Neurons would remain refractory following closure of voltage- gated sodium channels. E) K⁺channels would open to compensate for changes in membrane potential.

Na^{+ and} levels refer to sodium and potassium ion concentrations, respectively. Normal levels of these ions are essential for proper neuronal function, including the initiation and propagation of action potentials. If these levels are well below normal, neurons would not be able to undergo normal action potentials, leading to impaired neuronal activity and communication.
