Textbook Question
Chapter 48, Problem 18TYK
If the binding of a neurotransmitter to its receptor opens Cl− channels, what would be the effect on the postsynaptic cell? (Cl− is in higher concentration outside the cell.)
- a. It would hyperpolarize, producing an IPSP.
- b. It would depolarize and form an EPSP but probably not generate an action potential.
- c. It would initiate a signal transduction pathway as part of modulated signaling.
- d. Its membrane potential would not change because neither sodium nor potassium channels opened.
