Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for synaptic transmission at a cholinergic synapse is: D) A nerve signal arrives at an axon terminal, leading to B) the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels and calcium entering the cell, which triggers C) the release of acetylcholine (ACh) that diffuses across the synaptic cleft. Then, E) ligand-gated sodium channels open, allowing sodium to enter the cell, which finally results in A) the production of a postsynaptic potential.
