Question

The action potential causes neurotransmitters to be released into the ________.
A) myelin sheath
B) axon
C) synapse 
D) synaptic vesicle

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action potential reaches the end of an axon, which then triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the small gap between the axon terminal and the adjacent neuron or muscle cell. The neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the adjacent cell, either initiating or inhibiting an action potential.
