12. An inhibitory post synaptic potential (PSP). O will make the membrane potent

Question

12. An inhibitory post synaptic potential (PSP). O will make the membrane potential of a neuron's inner cell membrane more positive. O will make the membrane potential of a neuron's outer cell membrane more positive. O will make the membrane potential of a neuron's inner cell membrane more negative. O will make the membrane potential of a neuron's outer cell membrane more negative O will lower the membrane threshold potential of a neuron. References eBook & Resources Multiple Choice Section: 0703 13. EPSPs and IPSPs have a long-term effect on a neuron. O True O False References eBook&Resources; True / False

Explanation / Answer

12. During the Inhibitory Post Synaptic Potential (IPSP) hyperpolarization occurs. This means that interior of cell membrane is more negativily charged and the exterior of membrane is positively charged than the resting potential of the neuron cell. This prevents an action potential to occur again.

Answer. Option 3. Will make the membrane potential of a neuron's inner cell membrane more negative.

13. EPSPs and IPSPs are Synaptic Potentials that creates sudden differences in the membrane potential of the neurons. This difference in the outer and inner membrane potential is responsible for the the neuronal transmissions, and occurs within fraction of seconds, and then the membrane comes back to the resting potential.

Answer. Option 2. False.
