The correct order is:

- Action potential arrives at the axon terminal.

- Calcium ions enter the axon terminal.

- Synaptic vesicles fuse to membrane of axon terminal.

- Acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft.

- Acetylcholine binds to its receptors on the junctional folds.

- Junctional folds become depolarized.

- Action potential is initiated on the sarcolemma.

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell).

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are in clusters of neurons outside the spinal cord are called ____.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are in clusters of neurons outside the spinal cord are called  ____

The answer is "dorsal root ganglia"

Explanation:

Explanations of some terms

Sensory neurons:

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, have cell bodies that are located in the dorsal ganglia (also known as  spinal ganglia) of the spinal cord. Most sensory neurons have one axon which is split into two branches, they transmit impulses toward the spinal cord.

Spinal cord:

The spinal cord is a tubular structure composed of nervous tissue housed within the vertebral column, runs from the base of the brain to the lower spine. Spinal cord is a component of the Central Nervous System that serves as information highway the between brain and the body which Integrates and processes information. It can function with the brain and can also function independently of the brain.

Dorsal root ganglia:

Dorsal root ganglia also known as dorsal ganglia originated as bipolar cells. They exists within the peripheral nervous system and they have special nerve cell clusters that aid in transmitting the sensory messages of pain and touch. The dorsal root ganglia receive information from sensory receptor organs and transmitting the information to the central nervous system.
