Axon terminals from several different neurons synapse onto a single neuron. Some of these presynaptic neurons are sending excitatory signals, while others are sending inhibitory signals. Over the course of the effects of these signals, the postsynaptic membrane potential reaches around -90 mV. What is the overall effect on the postsynaptic neuron? Multiple Choice The postsynaptic neuron is excited enough to easily cross threshold and generate an action potential. The postsynaptic neuron is inhibited from generating action potentials. The postsynaptic neuron is excited, but not enough to cross threshold. The postsynaptic neuron is stabilized and remains at its resting potential.

3. What makes it possible for an impulse to move from one neuron to an adjacent neuron? (a) The axon of one neuron always touches the axon of the adjacent neuron. (b) Dendrites of one neuron always touch the axon of the adjacent neuron. (c) Neurotransmitters are released from the dendrites of one neuron and diffuse to the axon terminal of the adjacent neuron. (d) Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and diffuse to the dendrites of the adjacent neuron. (e) Cerebrospinal fluids are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and diffuse to the axons of the adjacent neuron.
