Option C. Where are neurotransmitter receptors located? <u>the postsynaptic membrane</u>

<u></u>

What is the postsynaptic membrane?

In a chemical synapse, the postsynaptic membrane is the membrane that receives a signal (binds neurotransmitter) from the presynaptic cell and responds via depolarisation or hyperpolarisation.
The postsynaptic membrane is separated from the presynaptic membrane by the synaptic cleft.

What are neurotransmitter receptors?

A neurotransmitter receptor (also known as a neuroreceptor) is a membrane receptor protein that is activated by a neurotransmitter.
Chemicals on the outside of the cell, such as a neurotransmitter, can bump into the cell's membrane, in which there are receptors.
