If extracellular calcium was absent, which would likely be true?
Vesicles containing neurotransmitter would not merge with the plasma membrane.
An action potential could not propagate itself down the axon.
Voltage-gated calcium channels would not open on the synaptic knob.
The electrochemical gradient for sodium would be destroyed.

Which of the following statements is FALSE? (choose one)
A. | Voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels open in the dendrites and cell body during a local, graded potential. |
B. | During repolarization, potassium ions are leaving the cell (K+ is diffusing out of the cell), and the inside of the cell becomes more negative |
C. | If someone damaged an efferent motor neuron, they could feel pain, but not respond to move away from the pain |
D. | Myelin serves as electrical insulation and increases the speed at which an action potential travels along the axon |
E. | Movement of ions can be excitatory (if sodium ligand-gated channels bind the neurotransmitter), or inhibitory (if potassium ligand-gated channels bind the neurotransmitter) |
