In Cells Where the Equilibrium Potential for Cl- Equals the Resting

Question 22

Multiple Choice

In cells where the equilibrium potential for Cl- equals the resting potential, opening Cl- channels in the subsynaptic membrane


A) has no effect on the probability of the postsynaptic cell reaching threshold since there's no movement of Cl-.
B) increases the probability of the postsynaptic cell reaching threshold since the entry of Na+ into the cell (through another route) will make the cell less negative and allow Cl- to leave the cell, offsetting the effect of Na+.
C) decreases the probability of the postsynaptic cell reaching threshold since the entry of Na+ into the cell (through another route) will make the cell less negative and Cl- will enter the cell, offsetting the depolarizing effect of Na+.
D) none of these.
