What is the double Donnan effect?
This double-Donnan effect stabilises cell volume. If the sodium pump was blocked (eg by drugs), sodium would enter the cell and water would follow until the cell ruptured. The sodium pump is important in stabilising cell volume in addition to its critical role in the generation of the resting membrane potential.
