Transmitting an impulse from one neuron to another involves a(n)
A)impulse stimulating presynaptic dendrites to release a neurotransmitter into a synaptic cleft.
B)impulse stimulating a presynaptic axon to release a neurotransmitter into a synaptic cleft.

D)neurotransmitter traveling from postsynaptic axons across a synapse to presynaptic dendrites or a cell body.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The impulse (action potential) travels down the presynaptic axon, causing the release of a neurotransmitter into a synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitter then binds to receptors on the postsynaptic dendrites or cell body, transmitting the impulse to the next neuron.
