When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, what is the proper order of events in which exocytosis of the neurotransmitter takes place? A. Ligand-gated Na+ channels open and Na+ rushes into the axon terminal; Na+ binds with synaptotagmin and together they activate the SNARE/vesicle complex, which docks and allows the neurotransmitter-filled vesicle to be exocytosed. B. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open and Na+ rushes into the axon terminal; Na+ binds with synaptotagmin and together they activate the SNARE/vesicle complex, which...

I've already tried the one that says incorrect. 1. An EPSP (i.e., Excitatory PostSynaptic Potential) causes ___. - an action potential to move down the axon - K+ channels to open and the outflow of K+ from the cell - Na+ channels to open and the inflow of Na+ into the cell (incorrect) - a change in the membrane potential that makes the cell less likely to produce an action potential 2. Which type of voltage-gated channels are only present...
