Receptors for neurotransmitters are of primary functional importance in assuring one-way synaptic transmission because they are mostly found on the
A) axonal membrane.
B) axon hillock.
C) dendritic membrane.
D) mitochondrial membrane.
E) presynaptic membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receptors for neurotransmitters are primarily found on the dendritic membrane of the postsynaptic neuron. This allows for the reception of chemical signals from a presynaptic neuron and subsequent transmission of electrical impulses down the axon hillock and along the axon.
