NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 18. Neural control and coordination
The specific receptors for neurotransmitters in a synapse are present on :
- A Schwann cell
- B Pre-synaptic membrane
- C Myelin sheath
- D Post-synaptic membrane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Post-synaptic membrane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) Post-synaptic membrane
Neurotransmitters are released from the synaptic vesicles of the pre-synaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft.
These neurotransmitters bind to specific receptors present on the post-synaptic membrane.
This binding opens ion channels, generating a new action potential in the post-synaptic neuron.
