D)sodium channels.
E)synapsins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connexons are integral membrane proteins that connect electrical synapses. They form channels called gap junctions that allow for the direct transfer of ions and small molecules between cells. Receptors and sodium channels are also integral membrane proteins, but they do not connect electrical synapses. Desmosomes and synapsins are not involved in electrical signaling between cells.
