In a simple synapse, neurotransmitter chemicals are received by _______. A. the postsynaptic membrane B. the presynaptic membrane C. axon hillocks D. cell bodies

Respuesta :

Option A. In a simple synapse, neurotransmitter chemicals are received by the postsynaptic membrane

What are neurotransmitters?

  • Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that your body can’t function without.
  • Their job is to carry chemical signals  from one neuron (nerve cell) to the next target cell.
  • The next target cell can be another nerve cell, a muscle cell or a gland.

What is a 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.
