Describe the steps of neural communication, from an action potential arriving at an axon terminal to neurotransmitter action stopping
Action potential arrives at the axon terminal of the presymptomatic neuron
Neurotransmitters(NT) released into the synapse
Neurotransmitters: chemicals that serve as messengers
Neurotransmitters bind receptors on postsynaptic neuron
If there are enough neurotransmitters, postsynaptic neurons fire and action potential
Neurotransmitter action is stopped by enzymes or reuptake
