At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers an influx of Ca2+ which . Select one: O A. depolarize the synaptic terminal of the presynaptic neuron, causing an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) in it. O B. interfere directly with IPSPS in the postsynaptic cell. O C. triggers the exocytosis of neurotransmitters. O D. cause the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the postsynaptic membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic terminals.
