A) Interneuron
B) Interconnector
C) Ionotropic
D) Metabotropic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metabotropic receptors work through signal transduction pathways to indirectly influence neurotransmitter release. They activate intracellular second messenger systems, leading to changes in cellular processes such as protein synthesis and ion channel activity, ultimately modulating synaptic transmission. In contrast, ionotropic receptors directly open ion channels to cause changes in membrane potential and rapid neurotransmitter release.
