Questions and Answers

What is the role of neurotransmitters in neural communication?

  • They generate electrical action potentials in neurons
  • They have an excitatory or inhibitory effect when released onto a target (correct)
  • They circulate in the bloodstream as hormones
  • They are responsible for the storage of granules in neurons
  • Where does the neurotransmitter bind during neural communication?

  • Synaptic cleft
  • Receptor proteins on the postsynaptic membrane (correct)
  • Storage granules in the presynaptic membrane
  • Exocytosis vesicles
  • How do storage granules contribute to neural communication?

  • They generate electrical action potentials in neurons
  • They hold vesicles containing neurotransmitter for release (correct)
  • They act as receptors for neurotransmitters
