The specific actions of alcohol on neuronal membranes include all of the following except
A) direct interactions with channel proteins.
B) modification of gating mechanisms inside a channel.
C) actions at neurotransmitter binding sites.
D) alteration of lipid composition.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alcohol primarily affects neuronal membranes through its ability to alter the lipid composition of the membrane, leading to changes in membrane fluidity and signaling. It can also interact with channel proteins and modify gating mechanisms, as well as affect neurotransmitter binding sites. However, these actions are not as specific or significant as its effects on lipid composition.
