Q
Ways of Reuptake
A
1) Pinocytosis
2) Degradation
3) Autoreceptors
2
Q
Pinocytosis
A
Presynaptic reuptake receptor resborbs the entire neurotransmitter
Package NRT into a vesicle
3
Q
Degradation
A
Enzymes break down NRT into its parts
Presynaptic reuptake receptors reabsorb the parts
Packaged in vesicles for alter use
4
Q
Autoreceptors
A
Located on presynaptic cell
Regulates the release of NRT by slowing down or speeding up
