9. / During synaptic transmission, exocytosis takes place in the:
a. terminal button
b. dendritic spine
c. vesicles
d. soma
10. / Which ion triggers the migration of vesicles to fuse with the membrane of the axon terminal during neurotransmitter release?
a. sodium
b. potassium
c. chloride
d. calcium
11. / Once an Action Potential moves down the axon towards the axon terminals, in what order does the release of the Neurotransmitters occur?
A. Depolarization, potassium channels are opened, vesicles move closer to the synapse, the neurotransmitters are released.
