Events at Synapse
4 steps detailing events at synapse
Question | Answer |
---|---|
1. the nerve BLANK travels along neuron A to its WHAT terminal. | impulse, axon |
2. The nerve impulse causes the WHAT to fuse with the membrane of the axon terminal. The WHAT open and release the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. | Vesicles, vesicles |
3. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the WHAT and binds to the receptor site. | synaptic cleft |
4. The binding of the neurotransmitter to the receptor site causes a change in the membrane potential of the dendrite of neuron B, thereby developing a nerve WHAT? | Impulse |
5. After the neurotransmitter binds to the receptor site and developing a nerve impulse, the neurotransmitter then vacates the receptor and is WHAT? | Degraded |
6. Electrical information then travels toward the cell body and axon of WHAT? | Neuron B |
