Describe the action potential conduction and neurotransmission process from one neuron to another, electrically (including saltatory conduction) and chemically. Next, describe how a cell fires an action potential and be sure to address which structures are involved in neurotransmission. Finally, discuss reuptake and enzymatic degradation (breakdown) in the context of the appropriate neurotransmitters. Please include peer reviewed references.

In the space below, briefly describe how a drug might affect the transmission of a nervous signal across the synaptic cleft from a presynaptic neuron to the post synaptic neuron. In your answer give an example of one mechanism by which this drug may affect this transmission, and explain why that mechanism leads to the drug's effect. Make sure to use the correct terms for any molecules involved in this process.
