When depolarisation reaches the telodendria of the axon, ____ ; this allows the release of ____ into the ____
|
|
Sodium channels open; neurotransmitters; synaptic gap
|
|
|
Potassium channels open; neurotransmitters; synaptic gap
|
|
|
Calcium channels open; dopamine; cell body
|
|
|
Calcium channels open; neurotransmitters; synaptic gap
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When the action potential reaches the terminal, it activates voltage-dependent calcium channels, allowing calcium ions to flow into theterminal. In the resting state, neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles at the pre-synaptic terminal.
Detailed explanation-2: -The calcium entry causes synaptic vesicles to fuse with the membrane and release neurotransmitter molecules into the synaptic cleft.
