How impulses move from synapse to synapse |
|
Definition
Action potention depolarises terminal, voltage gated Ca2+ channels open, Ca2+ enters, vesicles filled with neurotransmitter fuse with membrane, Neurotransmitter released, binds to postsynaptic receptor, activating it.Neurotransmitter later degraded and recycled |

Term
How an impulse starts in a postsynaptic receptor |
|
Definition
The receptors activate thanks to the neurotransmitters, causing sodium ion channels to open |
