2
New cards
voltage gated CA
opens and enters terminal
3
New cards
CA entry causes
synaptic vesicles to release neurotransmitters by exocytosis
4
New cards
neurotransmitter diffuses
across synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on postsynaptic membrane
5
New cards
binding opens
ion channels, creating graded potential
6
New cards

are terminated
