    The document labels the parts of a neuron including the dendrites, axon, presynaptic membrane, synaptic vesicle, end plates, postsynaptic membrane, synaptic cleft, and transmitter molecules. It then lists the correct order of events in synaptic transmission: (1) the impulse reaches the synapse from the axon, (2) the impulse stimulates synaptic vesicles to move to the presynaptic membrane, (3) synaptic vesicles dump neurotransmitter substance into the synaptic cleft, (4) the neurotransmitter substance diffuses across the cleft, (5) the neurotransmitter substance fits into receptor sites on the postsynaptic membrane, and (6) an enzyme destroys the neurotransmitter substance and clears out the synaptic cleft.

    Events of a Synaptic Transmission


    Number these events in the correct order. The first one is done for you already.

    (a) An action potential is stimulated at the postsynaptic membrane, and an


    impulse travels down the dendrite.
    (b) An enzyme destroys the neurotransmitter substance and clears out the
    synaptic cleft.
    (c) The impulse reaches the synapse from the axon.
    (d) The impulse stimulates synaptic vesicles to move to the presynaptic
    membrane.
    (e) The neurotransmitter substance diffuses across the cleft.
    (f) The neurotransmitter substance fits into receptor sites on the postsynaptic
    membrane.
    (g) Synaptic vesicles dump neurotransmitter substance into the synaptic cleft.
