|
1. Destonation of Action Potential |
-synapse |
|
|
2. Action Potential Arrives |
-triggers release of neurotransmitters from terminal buttons into dendrite |
|
|
3. NT reaches postsynaptic neuron |
- neurotransmitter finds receptor site -may bind at receptor site & cause voltage to change -fit like lock and key, specific transmitter for specific receptor site -either depolarizes post-synaptic neuron or further polarizes |
|
|
4a. Reuptake |
-neurotransmitter reabsorbed by presynaptic neuron -Presynaptic neuron recycles neurotransmitter |
|
|
4b. Degradation |
-enzymes in postsynaptic neuron react w neurotransmitter -neurotransmitter broken up -Makes neurotransmitter act |
