Title: What is Action Potential and Chemical Synaptic transmission? Post by: psychlady2013 on Feb 2, 2013 What is Action Potential and Chemical Synaptic Transmission?
I think... Sodium rushes in and potassium rushes out...but what exactly happens? Title: Re: What is Action Potential and Chemical Synaptic transmission? Post by: nberkohs on Feb 2, 2013 Hi, as the action potential reaches the end of the axon, a chemical is released that travels across the synaptic cleft to the next neuron to alter its electric potential -- this is called the chemical synaptic transmission.
Title: Re: What is Action Potential and Chemical Synaptic transmission? Post by: psychlady2013 on Feb 2, 2013 Thanks! Do you know what "ionic events" are associated with the action potential? I'm having a lot of trouble with this.
