Sodium Acetylcholine Describe Structure Function Channels Post Synaptic

Sodium channels on the postsynaptic membrane have two binding sites for acetylcholine. When acetylcholine binds, these channels open, allowing sodium ions to pass through.

Front Describe the structure and function of sodium channels on the post synaptic membrane.
Back Sodium channels:
  • Have two receptor sites on their surface complementary to acetylcholine
  • Binding of acetylcholine caues them to open
