Place the following events in excitatory synaptic transmission in order: 1 - A postsynaptic potential is produced. 2 - Voltage-gated calcium channels open and calcium enters the cell. 3 - ACh is released and diffuses across the axon terminal. 4 - A nerve signal arrives at an axon terminal. 5 - Ligand-gated sodium channels open and sodium enters the cell.
Question
Place the following events in excitatory synaptic transmission in order: 1 - A postsynaptic potential is produced. 2 - Voltage-gated calcium channels open and calcium enters the cell. 3 - ACh is released and diffuses across the axon terminal. 4 - A nerve signal arrives at an axon terminal. 5 - Ligand-gated sodium channels open and sodium enters the cell.
Solution
The correct order for the events in excitatory synaptic transmission is:
4 - A nerve signal arrives at an axon terminal. 2 - Voltage-gated calcium channels open and calcium enters the cell. 3 - ACh is released and diffuses across the axon terminal. 5 - Ligand-gated sodium channels open and sodium enters the cell. 1 - A postsynaptic potential is produced.
