How do cholinergic synapses communicate with each other (5)
- Acetycholine released from presynaptic neurone2) Acetylcholine diffuses down its concentration gradient and attaches to receptors on postsynaptic neurones3) This causes sodium channels to open on the post synaptic body 4) The threshold for the voltage gated sodium channels is reached and an action potential is produced5) This action potential is propagated through the axon.
