34Signal transmission at a chemical synapse:
(1) The arrival of an action potential opens voltage-gated [blank_start]calcium[blank_end]-channels.
(2) The increase of calcium-ions triggers the release of neurotransmitters through [blank_start]exocytosis[blank_end] of synaptic vesicles into the [blank_start]synaptic cleft[blank_end].
(3) The neurotransmitters bin to receptors and [blank_start]open[blank_end] channels.
The used neurotransmitters get either reabsorbed into the [blank_start]presynaptic[blank_end] cell or broken down metabolically.- Acalcium
