The abundance of sodium channels in muscles is as important as the abundance of sodium leak channels in a typical neuron.

Sodium plays an essential role in the body, this includes important functions such as:

  • Intervening in the process of muscular contraction.
  • Intervening in the process of interneural communication.

This is possible through sodium channels in cells that allow sodium to enter or leave the cell at very specific times and this causes specific reactions in cells.

  • In neurons: Sodium channels are abundant and essential because due to the action of sodium signals are passed from one neuron to others.
  • In muscles: Sodium channels are abundant and essential, especially in skeletal muscles. The role is sodium is to contract or relax muscles, which makes movement possible.

Based on this, the presence of these channels in both neurons and skeletal muscles is equally important.
