Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence is: action potential causes release of neurotransmitter (5), neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft (3), neurotransmitter binds with receptor on postsynaptic cell (2), membrane permeability to sodium ions on postsynaptic cell increases (4), sodium ions diffuse into the cell and cause a local potential (1).
