Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action potential arrives at an axon terminal. Calcium enters and the synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane. Neurotransmitter molecules are released into the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors on the membrane of the receiving neuron. Sodium ions diffuse into the receiving neuron, and an action potential begins.
