Chapter 14, Problem 5CYR
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The interaction between the neuron and the target cells takes place with the help of chemicals known as neurotransmitters. A neurotransmitter binds to its protein-based receptor present on the target cell membrane. For any communication to occur in a cell, the interaction between the neurotransmitter and the target cell is necessary.
