Question

5 a person is exposed to a drug that prevents vesicles from forming in neurons. predict the effect this will have on nerve function. multiple choice neurons will be hyper - excitable. action potentials will not be carried along the axon. voltage - gated potassium channels will be blocked, slowing depolarization and slowing nerve impulses. neurotransmitters wont be released into the synapse.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Neurons use vesicles to store and release neurotransmitters at synapses. If vesicles can't form, neurotransmitters won't be released into the synapse. Action potentials are carried along the axon via ion channels (not directly related to vesicles). Voltage - gated potassium channels are for repolarization (not vesicle - related). Neurons being hyper - excitable is not related to vesicle formation.

Answer:

Neurotransmitters won't be released into the synapse.
