** Na<sup>+</sup> / K<sup>+</sup> ATPases in the basolateral membrane move potassium into epithelial cells from the intercellular spaces in order to remove sodium
** Na<sup>+</sup> / K<sup>+</sup> ATPases in the basolateral membrane move potassium into epithelial cells from the intercellular spaces in order to remove sodium
** Potassium is then cleared from the cells using a co-transporter with chlorine
** Potassium is then cleared from the cells using a co-transporter with chlorine
