Question
increased calcium ion permeability of the presynaptic terminal cell membrane is caused by an
multiple choice
acetylcholine
action potential
increased concentration of calcium ions
sodium ions
When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, it causes voltage - gated calcium channels to open, increasing the calcium ion permeability of the presynaptic terminal cell membrane. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter, increased calcium ion concentration is a result not a cause of increased permeability, and sodium ions are not directly responsible for this increased calcium permeability.
