The trigger for exocytosis of synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic neuron is:
a. Arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal and influx of calcium ions.
b. Summation of IPSPs at the presynaptic neuron.
c. Binding of neurotransmitters to the axon hillock.
d. Influx of Na+ into the postsynaptic neuron.

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand the process of synaptic transmission: Synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic neuron store neurotransmitters, which are released into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the postsynaptic neuron.
Recall the role of an action potential: An action potential travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron and reaches the axon terminal, triggering a series of events.
Identify the role of calcium ions: The arrival of the action potential at the axon terminal causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open, allowing calcium ions (Ca²⁺) to flow into the presynaptic neuron.
Connect calcium influx to exocytosis: The influx of calcium ions triggers the synaptic vesicles to fuse with the presynaptic membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft through exocytosis.
Eliminate incorrect options: Summation of IPSPs (b) occurs at the postsynaptic neuron, binding of neurotransmitters (c) happens at the postsynaptic membrane, and Na⁺ influx (d) is part of postsynaptic depolarization, not exocytosis.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Exocytosis

Exocytosis is a cellular process where vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents outside the cell. In the context of neurons, synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitters undergo exocytosis when triggered, allowing communication between neurons. This process is essential for neurotransmission and is regulated by various factors, including calcium ion concentration.

Endocytosis and Exocytosis

Action Potential

An action potential is a rapid, temporary change in the membrane potential of a neuron, which occurs when a stimulus causes depolarization. This electrical signal travels along the axon to the axon terminal, where it triggers the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. The influx of calcium ions is crucial for initiating the exocytosis of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles.

Action Potential

Calcium Ions (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) in Neurotransmission

Calcium ions play a pivotal role in neurotransmission by acting as a signaling molecule. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, calcium channels open, allowing Ca<sup>2+</sup> to flow into the neuron. This increase in intracellular calcium concentration is the key trigger for the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the membrane, leading to the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
