B) influx of potassium ions
C) influx of sodium ions
D) inhibitory postsynaptic potential
Millivolts
A unit of electric potential or electromotive force equal to one thousandth of a volt.
Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential
A kind of synaptic potential that makes a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.
Potassium Ions
Charged particles of potassium that play crucial roles in physiological processes, including nerve transmission and muscle contraction.
