Neurons can produce and release different neurotransmitters.It is hypothesized that the type of neurotransmitter released is determined by
A)the amplitude of the action potential.
B)the frequency of the action potential.
C)the neurotransmitter that is available.
D)random chance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of the action potential is known to determine the type of neurotransmitter released. When the frequency of action potentials is high, a greater amount of neurotransmitter is released, resulting in increased synaptic transmission. This can also affect the type of neurotransmitter released.
