Question

In a simple synapse,where are neurotransmitter chemicals received?
A)the postsynaptic membrane
B)the presynaptic membrane
C)axon hillock
D)cell body
E)myelin shealth

Accepted Answer

In a simple synapse, neurotransmitter chemicals are released from the presynaptic membrane and received by the postsynaptic membrane. This is where the transmission of information between neurons occurs. The other options listed (B) the presynaptic membrane, (C) axon hillock, (D) cell body, and (E) myelin sheath are not the primary site of neurotransmitter reception in a synapse.
