1)In exocytosis: The neurotransmitter is produced, vesicles are formed around the neurotransmitters to be released and they fuse with the outer membrane of the presynaptic cell. Then, their contents (neurotransmitters) are secreted into the
synaptic cleft.
2) the compounds recycled: Vesicles.
The membranes formed from
old vesicles become part of the presynaptic membrane and new vesicles surge from that area of the membrane. These new vesicles are refilled with more
neurotransmitters.
3)Answer: Calcium ions.
Action potentials open calcium channels that are in the
membrane of the presynaptic cell, which causes the Ca+ ions to move to inside the cell
. Calcium ions trigger the release of neurotransmitter from the
vesicles into the synaptic cleft.
