In a simple synapse, neurotransmitters chemicals are received by
|
|
the presynaptic membrane
|
|
|
the dendritic membrane
|
|
|
ducts on the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
|
cell bodies
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The answer is d. postsynaptic membrane. A synapse refers to the gap wherein nerve impulses (or signals) are transmitted from one neuron to the next.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites: are tree-like structures that extend away from the cell body to receive neurotransmitters from other neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dendrites of many neural populations transmit information back to their synaptic inputs by releasing neuroactive substances (89, 99, 128).
Detailed explanation-4: -An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles.
