Indicate whether an excitatory or inhibitory synapse is being described by filling in the blank using the following answer code:
-increased P_K+ of the subsynaptic membrane (no change in P_Na+)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in PK+ (potassium permeability) without a change in PNa+ (sodium permeability) typically leads to hyperpolarization of the subsynaptic membrane, making it less likely to fire an action potential, which is characteristic of an inhibitory synapse.
