(1) A nerve impulse arrives. (2) This causes calcium ion channels to open, resulting in an influx of calcium ions in the terminal. (3) This causes synaptic vesicles to fuse with the terminal membrane, ...

AT the neuromuscular junction 1, as well as at neuronal synapses 2, calcium plays an essential and direct part in the process whereby depolarization of the presynaptic nerve terminal leads to release ...

Neural impulse transmission and its effects on the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) have always been in the forefront of discussion and studies, in ...
