Respuesta :

After release into the synaptic cleft, neurotransmitters interact with receptor proteins on the membrane of the postsynaptic cell, causing ionic channels on the membrane to either open or close. When these channels open, depolarization occurs, resulting in the initiation of another action potential

When a neurotransmitter combines with a receptor on the postsynaptic cell, it makes the ion channels on the membrane to either close or open.

What is neurotransmitter postsynaptic receptors?

A chemical component, which get is discharged at the terminal of a nerve fiber by the arrival of a nerve impulse and by diffusing through the junction or synapse makes the transfer of the impulse to another nerve fiber is known as a neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitters after release into the synaptic cleft, associate with the receptor proteins on the postsynaptic cell's membrane. This makes the ionic channels on the membrane to either close or open. When these channels open, the process of depolarization takes place, leading to the initiation of another action potential.

Thus, binding of a neurotransmitter to the postsynaptic cell's receptor makes the opening or closing of the ionic channels.
