After the neurotransmitter crosses he synaptic gap what process occurs?
|
|
Reuptake
|
|
|
The axon sends the message across the synaptic gap
|
|
|
The resting period
|
|
|
Threshold

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reuptake by the presynaptic neuron, enzymatic degradation, and diffusion away from the synapse reduce neurotransmitter levels, terminating the signal.
Detailed explanation-2: -n. the process by which neurotransmitter molecules that have been released at a synapse are reabsorbed by the presynaptic neuron that released them. Reuptake is performed by transporter proteins in the presynaptic membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reuptake is the reabsorption of a neurotransmitter by a neurotransmitter transporter located along the plasma membrane of an axon terminal (i.e., the pre-synaptic neuron at a synapse) or glial cell after it has performed its function of transmitting a neural impulse.
