In a chemical synapse, which of the following is characteristically localized on the post-synaptic membrane?

Options

  1. ASynaptic vesicles
  2. BSchwann cells
  3. CSpecific receptors for neurotransmitters
  4. DNissl's granules

Correct answer

C. Specific receptors for neurotransmitters

Step-by-step solution

In a chemical synapse, the pre-synaptic neuron transmits the signal by releasing neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to specific receptors which are exclusively located on the post-synaptic membrane. Synaptic vesicles are found in the pre-synaptic terminal, Schwann cells form the myelin sheath on axons, and Nissl's granules are present in the cell body and dendrites. Answer: Specific receptors for neurotransmitters
