Q

Overview of neurotransmission (9points)

A
  1. Uptake of precursor
  2. Synthesis of transmitter
  3. Storage of transmitter in vesicle
  4. Causes depolarisation of AP
  5. Results in Ca2+ influx through voltage gated ion channels
  6. Calcium induced exocytosis of transmitter out of presynaptic ganglion
  7. Activation of G-proteins or ligand gated ion channels
  8. Reuptake of transmitter or
  9. Enzyme-mediated inactivation
