Some drugs may act on all types of neurons by
A)blocking all receptor types.
B)interfering with metabolism.
C)preventing absorption of nutrients.
D)altering the electrical potential across the cell membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drugs that alter the electrical potential across the cell membrane can act on all types of neurons because the electrical potential is a fundamental property of neurons. This includes drugs that affect ion channels or the activity of neurotransmitters that regulate the flow of ions across the membrane. Blocking all receptor types or interfering with metabolism would only affect certain types of neurons, while preventing absorption of nutrients would not directly affect the electrical potential across the membrane.
