Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct chronological order of events in synaptic transmission is: A nerve impulse reaches the synaptic knob, neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft, neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptors in the postsynaptic cell, a voltage change occurs in the postsynaptic cell, and a nerve impulse begins in the postsynaptic cell. Therefore, choice D, which lists the events in this order, is the correct answer.
