Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The electrical communication of muscles and nerves occur through neurotransmitters as the medium. During the process, the cells expend energy leading to creation of electrical gradient across cell membranes. Consequently, each ion exerts electrical and concentration influence. Therefore, neurotransmitters temporarily modify ion permeability properties of muscle cells .
