A person is exposed to a drug that prevents vesicles from forming in neurons. Predict the effect this will have on nerve function.
A)Voltage-gated potassium channels will be blocked, slowing depolarization and slowing nerve impulses.
B)Neurons will be hyper-excitable.
C)Neurotransmitters won't be released into the synapse via exocytosis.
D)Action potentials will not be carried through the axon.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vesicles are responsible for storing and releasing neurotransmitters into the synapse via exocytosis. If vesicles cannot form, neurotransmitters will not be released, leading to a disruption in nerve function.
