When receptors in the postsynaptic cell cause ion channels to open, what kind of postsynaptic potentials are caused by the following?

Calcium entering the cell causes an EPSP OR IPSP (PICK ONE)

Chloride entering the cell causes an EPSP OR IPSP (PICK ONE)

Sodium entering the cell causes an EPSP OR IPSP (PICK ONE)

Potassium exiting the cell causes EPSP OR IPSP (PICK ONE)

An increase in size of an action potential codes for an increased stimulus.

True

False

If acetylcholinesterase is inhibited (blocked) acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft will (Increase/decrease) while the response in the postsynaptic cell will (Increase/decrease)

If a patient takes an SSRI, reuptake of serotonin will (Increase/decrease) and serotonin in the synapse will (Increase/decrease)
