Chapter 24.4, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The fate of a released neurotransmitter.
Introduction:
A neurotransmitter is a chemical signal molecule that moves across a tiny space called synapse. They are synthesized by neurons and are packaged in vesicles located at axon’s terminal end. The two most common neurotransmitters are the amino acids glutamate and gamma amino butyric acid.
