Label the steps involved with the transmission of a signal across a synapse

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The steps involved in the transmission of a signal across a synapse are complex and involve multiple stages. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Arrival of action potential: The action potential arrives at the presynaptic terminal. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Calcium ion influx: Voltage-gated calcium channels open, allowing Ca²⁺ ions to enter the presynaptic neuron. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Neurotransmitter release: The influx of Ca²⁺ triggers the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Neurotransmitter binding: The neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. ‖ ‖ e ⋮ Postsynaptic response: Binding of neurotransmitters to receptors induces a response in the postsynaptic neuron, which may be excitatory or inhibitory. ‖ ‖ f ⋮ Termination of signal: The neurotransmitter's action is terminated by reuptake into the presynaptic neuron, enzymatic degradation, or diffusion away from the synapse. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Synaptic transmission is the process by which neurons communicate with each other through the release and reception of neurotransmitters. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ This process is essential for the propagation of electrical signals in the nervous system, allowing for complex functions such as thought, movement, and sensation. ⚹◊What neurotransmitter is typically involved in the transmission of a signal across a synapse?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
