Energy Neurotransmitter Synaptic Explain Transmission Demanding Demands Aspects

Synaptic transmission is energy-demanding due to the ATP required for neurotransmitter exocytosis, packaging into vesicles, and recycling.

La transmisión sináptica requiere mucha energía (ATP) para la exocitosis de neurotransmisores, el empaquetamiento de neurotransmisores en vesículas y el reciclaje de los mismos.

Front Explain why synaptic transmission is very energy demanding.
Back Energy demands of synaptic transmission:
  • Many aspects of process require energy from ATP:
    • Exocytosis of neurotransmitter
    • Packaging neurotransmitter into vesicles
    • Recycling of neurotransmitter
