- An action potential has reached the axon terminal of a presynaptic cell. As a result of the action potential you would expect the movement of __________ into the presynaptic cell and the movement of __________ out of the presynaptic cell. Calcium : neurotransmitter Sodium : calcium Neurotransmitter : calcium Sodium : neurotransmitterarrow_forwardThe rising phase of the action potential is the direct result of the: O inflow of potassium O inflow of sodium O inflow of sodium and potassium O outflow of sodium O outflow of sodium and potassiumarrow_forwardExcitatory neurotransmitters open up some sodium ion channels in the postsynaptic dendrite. This allows some sodium ions (Na+) to enter the postsynaptic dendrite, making the membrane potential more positive and bringing it closer to the threshold potential. This increases the likelihood of an action potential. Inhibitory neurotransmitters open up ion channels in the postsynaptic membrane for positive potassium ions (K+) to flow out OR negative chloride ions (Cl-) to flow in. Whether potassium ions go out or chloride ions go in, the postsynaptic cell becomes more negative than the resting membrane potential (further from the threshold potential). This decreases the likelihood of an action potential. The effect of the inhibitory neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic membrane is to a. maintain the resting potential b. hyperpolarize the postsynaptic membrane c. depolarize the postsynaptic membrane d. decrease the threshold levelarrow_forward
