How does the addition of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) to the bathing solution around the neuromuscular junction affect transmitter release?
A) 4-AP blocks sodium channels, preventing action potentials and reducing transmitter release.
B) 4-AP blocks potassium channels, prolonging the duration of action potentials and enhancing transmitter release.
C) 4-AP blocks calcium channels, reducing calcium ion entry and transmitter release.
D) 4-AP enhances potassium channels, shortening the duration of action potentials and reducing transmitter release.
E) 4-AP enhances calcium channels, increasing calcium ion entry and transmitter release.
