Neurotransmitter attaches to receptors. Calcium gates open which results in calcium ions (Ca2+) rushing/diffusing into the bulb Neurotransmitter diffuses across the cleft. The action potential reaches the axon bulb at the end of a neuron Vesicles carrying neurotransmitter are pulled down. Sodium gates open and Na+ rushes into dendrite. Exocytosis of the neurotransmitter occurs. Neurotransmitter is either hydrolyzed or reuptake occurs.arrow_forwardReview the anatomy of a neuron and label it by choosing appropriate terms. 1. 2.
