In a Neuron, Where are Voltage -Gated Calcium Channels Located

Question

In a neuron, where are voltage -gated calcium channels located?
A) axon hillock
B) axon terminal
C) dendrites
D) axon
E) soma

Accepted Answer

Voltage-gated calcium channels are primarily located at the axon terminal of a neuron. They play a crucial role in neurotransmitter release by triggering vesicle fusion when calcium ions enter the neuron upon depolarization.
