Which of the following statements about postsynaptic currents at the neuromuscular end plate is false?

Which of the following statements about postsynaptic currents at the neuromuscular end plate is false?





  1. Depolarizing currents can be recorded from outside-out patches of postsynaptic membrane.
  2. Individual channels tend to stay open for no more than a few msec.
  3. Acetylcholine can induce openings of ligand-gated ion channels.
  4. The end plate potential is due to the opening of thousands or millions of channels.
  5. The end plate channels show a regenerative opening pattern that propagates an action potential along the length of the muscle fiber.


Answer: 5
