    the heart help to elevate an involuntary action by producing more intracellular calcium absorption (Ciccone, 2016). The intensity and immediate contraction of the myocardium are high due to the result of the inhibiting activity of the sodium and potassium ions opposite to the myocardial nucleic cells by the intricacy with the (ATP) adenosine triphosphate; the improvement of the calcium flow and increase elimination of the free ionic calcium inside the cells of the myocardium thus, automatically heightened

    K+ affinity, causing the release of K+ into the cell (Lehninger et al. 2000). It is the above process that is responsible for approximately 25% of the bodies daily ATP breakdown and consequent energy usage (Lehninger et al. 2000). The sodium and potassium ions, and the large concentration gradients that exist, consist a vital physiological feature of the cell, and one that is implicated in myriad cellular processes. The main cellular process, as mentioned above, for which the Na/K-ATPase is responsible
