Reuptake is ________.
A) a chemical that is released into the synaptic gap
B) a protein molecule on the dendrite or cell body of a neuron that will interact only with specific neurotransmitters
C) a process by which neurotransmitters are taken back into the synaptic vesicles
D) a chemical that plays a role in learning and attention

Question

Reuptake is ________.
A) a chemical that is released into the synaptic gap 
B) a protein molecule on the dendrite or cell body of a neuron that will interact only with specific neurotransmitters
C) a process by which neurotransmitters are taken back into the synaptic vesicles 
D) a chemical that plays a role in learning and attention

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reuptake is the process by which neurotransmitters are taken back into the synaptic vesicles. This helps to regulate the level of neurotransmitters in the synaptic gap and allows for the precise control of neural signaling. Option A refers to a neurotransmitter, not reuptake. Option B refers to a receptor, not reuptake. Option D is not directly related to the process of reuptake.

Reuptake Is ________
