An inhibitory message causes the cell's electrical potential to become:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An inhibitory message causes the cell to become more negative by opening channels that allow negatively charged ions, such as chloride (Cl-) or potassium (K+), to flow into the cell or positively charged ions, such as sodium (Na+) to flow out of the cell. This hyperpolarizes the cell, making it less likely to fire an action potential.
