It is so because, Potassium helps in setting up the resting membrane potential in neurons alongside setting muscle fibers after membranes are de polarised Potassium has very little effect on osmotic pressure.

Potassium is also the most important intracellular ion in fluid exchang. It also participates in the exchange with sodium in the renal tubules under the influence of aldosterone.

Thank you
