New cards

Step 1

calcium channels open, so Ca+ triggers vesicle emptying

2
New cards

Step 2

exocytosis of acetylcholine into synaptic cleft

3
New cards

Step 3

acetylcholine is matched to Na+ ion channels' receptors

4
New cards

Step 4

postsynaptic ion channels open

5
New cards

Step 5

postsynaptic neuron depolarizes as Na+ enters via diffusion

Carl EAts A Pretty Pickle

Carl - calcium channels open

EAts - exocytosis of ACh into synaptic cleft

A - ACh is matched to Na+ ion channel receptors

Pretty - postsynaptic channels open

Pickle - postsynaptic neuron depolarizes as Na+ enters via diffusion
