Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis by ependymal cells is not a method for clearing neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft. Ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, but they do not participate in the clearance of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. The other options (A, B, C) are established methods for neurotransmitter clearance.
