List in order the sequence of events that comprises the synaptic signaling and the action potential. A. Voltage gated Na channels open along the axon at each node of Ranvier. B. Voltage gated K channels open along the axon at each node of Ranvier. C. IPSPs and EPSPs are summed in the cell body. D. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors at the dendrites and cell body resulting in an ISPS or EPSP. E. Voltage gated Ca channels are opened in the axon hillock. Threshold is reached. F. Ca ions bind with calmodulin to form a complex that interacts with the vesicle. G. Neurotransmitter is released.

Order of events at synapse Put the events of neural signal transmission at the synapse in the order that they occur from first to last. Vesicles in sending neuron fuse with the membrane. Neurotransmitters bind to receptor proteins on the receiving cell membrane. Action potential arrives at synaptic terminal from axon. Chance of action potential in the receiving cell either increases or decreases. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft. Ion channels in the receiving neuron are stimulated to open.

An influx of Na+ ions occurs at the axon terminal. Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open, resulting in an influx of Ca2+. Synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane. Neurotransmitters arrive at the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron. Neurotransmitters alter the permeability of the postsynaptic membrane to ions. In what order do the events above occur in Neuron Synapse?
Matthew S.
Draw the structures involved in a typical chemical synapse (e.g., axon terminal, voltage-gated calcium channels, synaptic vesicles of presynaptic cell, synaptic cleft, neurotransmitter receptors of the postsynaptic cell). Label or describe the events of synaptic transmission in proper chronological order from the release of neurotransmitter by synaptic vesicles to the effect of the neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic cell.
