Interactions of two voltage-gated calcium channels and a pump enable separate control of exocytosis and endocytosis at chemical synapses. Chemical synapses transmit information within the nervous ...
This diagram depicts both exocytosis (left) and endocytosis (right). On top is a nerve cell that is sending a chemical nerve signal to the nerve cell on the bottom. Within the top nerve cell, vesicles ...
Endocytosis is an important cellular process through which cells internalize substances such as water and nutrients. These substances are first transported as cargo to the initial sorting compartment ...
The left electron microscope image shows "exocytosis." Parts of two nerve cells from a mouse brain are shown, top and bottom, with the gap or synapse between them appearing as horizontal lines. The ...
