Question

Describe three processes by which neurotransmitters leave the synapse. Referencing specific neural structures and electrochemical processes, describe the flow of information from when it is received by one neuron to when it is transmitted to another neuron.

Answer 1

Answer:

Neurotransmitters leaving synapse:

1. First a re uptake occurs when a neurotransmitter are absorbed by the terminal button of the presynaptic neurons axon
2. Second enzyme deactivation is when neurotransmitters can be destroyed by enzyme in the synapse; specific enzyme brekdown specific neurotransmitters
3. Last, auto receptors on the presynaptic neuron is the receptor site that the neurotransmitter can bind to and they detect how much has been released into a synapse and signal the neuron to stop releasing.
