Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic membrane (axon terminals) and received or detected by the postsynaptic membrane (dendrites). Option A is incorrect because dendrites are not the site of neurotransmitter release but rather the site of neurotransmitter detection. Option C is incorrect because the cell body is not directly involved in the release or detection of neurotransmitters. Option D is also incorrect because the presynaptic membrane is responsible for releasing neurotransmitters, not detecting them.
