A nerve poison that blocks acetylcholine receptors on dendrites would _______.
reduce the binding of acetylcholine to its receptors on the postsynpatic membrane. The binding of neurotransmitter molecules to their specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane opens ion channels, which completes the transmission of the impulse to the receiving cell. A nerve poison that blocked the acetylcholine receptors would prevent reception of the signal.
