2
New cards
Info Transfer Step 2
AP causes Ca channels to open resulting in influx of Ca in cell
3
New cards
Info Transfer Step 3
Ca ions cause vesicles filled with NT to release into synaptic cleft
4
New cards
Info Transfer Step 4
NT diffuse across cleft, bind receptors on postsynaptic neuron, chemically gated Na/K channels
5
New cards
Info Transfer Step 5
NT binding opens channel causes GP
6
New cards
Info Transfer Step 6
NT effect is terminated
7
New cards
NT termination 1
reuptake by presynaptic neuron
8
New cards
NT termination 2
