Place the events in the transmission of an action potential in the correct order: 1) An action potential begins in the receiving neuron. 2) Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft. 3) An action potential arrives at an axon terminal. 4) Calcium ions enter the axon terminal. 5) Sodium ions diffuse into the receiving neuron. 6) Synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane. 7) Neurotransmitter molecules bind to the membrane of the receiving neuron.

Ello mate, Here's you're answer!

The correct order is 3,4,6,2,7,5,1

Explanation:

Here are the events in the transmission of an action potential in the correct order:

3) An action potential arrives at an axon terminal. 4) Calcium ions enter the axon terminal. 6) Synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane. 2) Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft. 7) Neurotransmitter molecules bind to the membrane of the receiving neuron. 5) Sodium ions diffuse into the receiving neuron. 1) An action potential begins in the receiving neuron.
