In a simple synapse, neurotransmitter chemicals are received by ________.
A) the presynaptic membrane
B) dendrites
C) axon hillocks
D) cell bodies

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitter chemicals are received by dendrites in a simple synapse. The dendrites contain receptors that bind to the neurotransmitters, triggering a response in the postsynaptic neuron. The other options listed (presynaptic membrane, axon hillocks, cell bodies) are not typically involved in receiving neurotransmitter chemicals in a simple synapse.
