The correct option is D.

Neurotransmitters categorized as inhibitory are expected to hyperpolarize the membrane.

At inhibitory synapses, release of neurotransmitters causes inhibitory postsynaptic potentials or IPSP, which is a hyperpolarization of the presynaptic membrane.

Actually, depolarization and hyperpolarization occurs on neuron when an ion channel in the membrane open or close which can alter the ability of certain types of ions which enter from or exit out of the cell.

Neurotransmitters which is inhibitory have inhibitory effects on the neuron as it means they can decrease the possibility that the neuron will tend to fire an action. Modulatory neurotransmitters can also affect various neurons at the same time which results in the influencing effects of other chemical messengers.

Inhibitory neurotransmitter somehow decreases the action potential of the neuron. When the action potential falls below a certain level which is called threshold potential, the neuron will not be able to generate action potentials and thereby unable to exit the nearest neurons.

So, neurotransmitters are in general expected to hyperpolarize the membrane in some extent.

How are the graphs of a body chemical controlled by negative feedback and a chemical controlled by positive feedback similar
andriy [413]
  • There is a proper mechanism of controlling the levels of various kinds of hormones and chemicals in our body called as positive feedback and negative feedback.
  • In a very simple language you can understand it as whenever there is a release of a particular hormone or chemical inside the body in very huge amount then the negative feedback of the body is activated the production of that particular hormone or chemical is stopped and vice -versa for negative feedback.
  • Explanation:positive feedback and negative both the feedback mechanism are achieved to maintain the proper homeostasis.
  • Example: release of clotting factor after blood loss is a positive feedback and a hormone is released and then suddenly there is a increase in hormone b, then the amount of hormone a will decrease this is a negative feedback.
