B) sensory
C) inhibitory
D) enzyme degradation
Excitatory Signal
A type of neurotransmitter-induced signal in the nervous system that increases the likelihood of a neuron firing an action potential.
Action Potential
A sudden increase and subsequent decrease in the voltage across a cell membrane resulting from the movement of charged particles.
Neural Communication
