Transmission of a nerve impulse from one neuron to another neuron is dependent on
A) the presence of calcium ions.
B) a neurotransmitter.
C) a synaptic cleft.
D) a presynaptic and postsynaptic membrane.
E) All of the answer choices are requirements for the transmission of a nerve impulse.
Synaptic Cleft
Small gap between presynaptic and postsynaptic cells of a synapse.
Presynaptic Membrane
The membrane of a nerve terminal that faces the receiving (postsynaptic) cell and is where neurotransmitters are released.
Calcium Ions
Charged particles of calcium that play crucial roles in biological processes such as muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release.
