During reuptake _____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During reuptake, neurotransmitter molecules are reabsorbed into the sending neuron's axon terminals. This process helps recycle the neurotransmitters and regulate their levels in the synaptic gap. It is different from vesicles releasing neurotransmitter molecules (A) or enzymes destroying unused neurotransmitters (D). The process of neurotransmitter molecules crossing the synaptic gap and attaching to the receiving neuron is a description of the initial release of neurotransmitters, not reuptake (B).
