Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What role do neurotransmitters play in synaptic transmission?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: A signal travels down the presynaptic neuron (the sending neuron).
Step 2: When the signal reaches the end of the presynaptic neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters.
Step 3: Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are released into the synapse (the gap between neurons).
Step 4: The neurotransmitters travel across the synapse.
Step 5: The neurotransmitters bind to specific receptors on the postsynaptic neuron (the receiving neuron).
Step 6: This binding causes a response in the postsynaptic neuron, which can lead to the continuation of the signal.
