Events in Synaptic Signal Transmission
Events in Synaptic Signal Transmission
- Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft.
- Neurotransmitters bind to ion channels.
- Sodium ions enter into the dendrites.
- Neurotransmitters are returned to the axon terminal, broken down by the enzymes or diffused away from the synapse.
- Action potential arrives in axon terminal.
- Synaptic vesicles containing the neurotransmitters fuse with the presynaptic membrane.
- Ion channels open.
