An action potential has just arrived at the terminal buttons of a neuron.Which event will occur immediately
A) Neurotransmitters will be taken up by the postsynaptic neuron.
B) Neurotransmitters will be pulled back into the presynaptic neuron.
C) Neurotransmitters will be manufactured in the synaptic vesicles.
D) Neurotransmitters will be released into the synaptic cleft.
Terminal Buttons
The small knobs at the end of an axon that release chemicals (neurotransmitters) to transmit signals to the next neuron.
Synaptic Cleft
The narrow gap between the terminal end of a neuron and the neighboring neuron or muscle cell, through which neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals.
Synaptic Vesicles
Membrane-bound sacs within neurons that store neurotransmitters and release them into the synaptic cleft during neuronal communication.
- Understand the fundamental functions and processes of neurotransmitter activity.
- Acknowledge the contribution of neurotransmitters to neural functioning and behavioral responses.
