Answer #1

Correct answer:- (A) first hyperpolarization and then release a neurotransmitter
Explanation:- if a inhibitory interneuton is stimulated through a inhibitory e postsynaptic potential then inhibitory postsynaptic potential is generated and postsynaptic membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting membrane potential, and this is called HYPERPOLARIZATION.

    11. Acetylcholine is both an excitatory and inhibitory ligand depending on the location of its receptor. What does Acetylcholine do that makes it "excitatory"? a. It causes a cell membrane to depolarize and produce Excitatory Post Synaptic Potentials b. It opens K+ ion channels when it binds to its receptors c. It causes a cell membrane to hyperpolarize 12. The bonding of Acetylcholine to its muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle causes gated K+ channels to close. This action is described...
