An ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor is called: ligand-gated channel.
<h3>What is an
action potential?</h3>
An action potential can be defined as a sudden, fast change in electrical (voltage) potential with respect to the transmission of an impulse to a receptor, across a cellular membrane such as:
<h3>What is a neuron?</h3>
A neuron is a nerve cell that is saddled with the responsibility of transmitting electrical impulses down an axon across a cellular membrane of the body of a living organism through an action potential.
In Science, a ligand-gated channel is a type of ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor.
