In a crayfish, the receptor potential of a stretch receptor O a. spreads when ion channels in the cell's dendrites are opened. O b. decreases when the muscle is stretched. O c. starts at the axon hillock. O d. can be transmitted to the central nervous system. e. is created by the opening of ion channels in the axon.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurotrans) to learn about the release of a neurotransmitter. The action potential reaches the end of the axon, called the axon terminal, and a chemical signal is released to tell the target cell to do something, either initiate a new action potential, or to suppress that activity. In a very short space, the electrical signal of the action potential is changed into the chemical signal of a neurotransmitter, and then back to electrical changes in the target cell membrane. What is the importance of voltage-gated calcium channels in the release of neurotransmitters?
