Questions and Answers

What happens to synaptic vesicles when an action potential occurs?

  • They go through reuptake
  • They are transported to the presynaptic membrane
  • They bind with the postsynaptic receptor
  • They release their payload of neurotransmitters (correct)

What is the role of autoreceptors in the synaptic transmission process?

  • To transport synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic membrane
  • To break down neurotransmitters through enzymatic deactivation
  • To monitor the amount of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft (correct)
  • To convert precursors into neurotransmitters
