In synaptic transmission, the action potential stimulates the release of:
A) potassium ions by the glial cells.
B) neurotransmitters by the synaptic vesicles.
C) myelin by the glial cells.
D) sodium ions by the dendrites.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In synaptic transmission, the action potential stimulates the release of neurotransmitters by the synaptic vesicles. These neurotransmitters are then released into the synaptic cleft where they can bind onto receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, leading to the generation of a new action potential in the postsynaptic neuron.
