Multiple Choice
Describe synaptic fatigue.
A) Synaptic fatigue occurs in an axon terminal when neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft faster than they can be reabsorbed or recycled.
B) Synaptic fatigue occurs when not enough ATP is present to cause the release of neurotransmitters out of the axon terminal.
C) Synaptic fatigue occurs during oxygen deficiency and the synapse fails to bind neurotransmitters.
D) Synaptic fatigue occurs during starvation and not enough neurotransmitters are synthesized for normal synaptic function.
E) Synaptic fatigue occurs when the axon terminal can no longer receive action potentials from the axon hillock due to overstimulation.
