It is time to compare and contrast ionotropic and metabotropic
receptor mechanisms! First, describe how each type of receptor
works. Next, list the differences between the two types of
receptors. Then, give an example of a neurotransmitter system that
uses an ionotropic receptor to facilitate hyperpolarization, and
describe how this works. Finally, name at least one type of
sedative drug that binds to this receptor. A complete answer will
include the following terms: action potential, binding site, cell
membrane, channel,...
