Do K+ ions diffuse freely from cell to cell? One half of a myocardial strip (trabecula carnea of sheep ventricle) is loaded with 42K+, the other half washed by inactive solution. The equilibrium distribution of radioactive K+ over the length of a cardiac muscle preparation follows the rules of the cable equation. (Weidmann 1964, 1966). With permission.
