Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of impulse transmission at a synapse is as follows:
1. Nerve impulse travels along the axon to the synaptic terminal.
2. Action potential promotes the entry of calcium ions into the synaptic knob.
3. Secretory vesicles containing neurotransmitter fuse with the presynaptic membrane, and neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft.
4. The presynaptic membrane releases neurotransmitter by exocytosis.
5. Neurotransmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
Therefore, option B is the correct order: 4, 1, 6, 3, 2, 5.
