Which of the following does not occur when a drug blocks reuptake of neurotransmitters for a prolonged period?

a. receptor proteins across the synapse modify their shape to expel the neurotransmitter molecules.

b. the only way to maintain normal functioning of the nerve pathway is to continue taking the drug.

c. the receiving nerve cell lowers the number of receptors in the synapse.

d. receptors across the synapse are flooded with excess neurotransmitters.

Explanation:

In order to understand the answer we first have to understand the synapsis process. Synapsis occurs when the neuron release certain electrochemical impulses to excite another cell. Now, drugs are external neurotransmitters that can also excite a neuron having different effects that might make the neuron stop working for overexcitement or sickness. Once a drug is inside the organism it can be expelled. However, the receptor proteins involved in the synapse can't modify their shape to expel the neurotransmitter molecules. The only way the organism has to expel a drug from itself is by draining fluids and tissue that will also drag the involves cells in the experience.
