The correct option is (a), the calcium current at the axon-terminal.
It is because in the absence of calcium, the fusion of vesicles does not happen. The vesicles remain present in the fusion-ready state, but do not undergo fusion and migration.At the influx of calcium, the fusion of vesicles is initiated.
Hope it helps, Good luck !!!!

35. At the relative end of synaptic transmission, the vesicles (containing stored neurotransmitter) migrate and fuse...
Put these steps in neuromuscular junction synaptic transmission and excitation-contraction coupling in chronological order. A. Ryanodine receptors open B. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open in the muscle cell membrane near the neuromuscular junction C. Tropomyosin rotates into the groove of the thin filament (out of the way of the myosin binding site) D. Depolarization of motoneuron axon terminal E. Ca2+ dissociates from troponin F. [Ca2+] rises in the muscle cell cytoplasm G. An EPSP occurs in the muscle cell H. Myosin...

The Gβγ subunits block exposure of the G alpha switch domains D. Both the Gα and Gβγ subunits can interact with downstream target proteins to propagate signals. During the undershoot of the action potential, which IS NOT true? A. Sodium channel inactivation is the reason for the absolute refractory period. B. The undershoot arises because...
Part I—The Hospital At last the day had come. Mr. Th ompson was having his wisdom teeth removed. He was tired of the aches and pains and the sight of his puff y face in the mirror every morning. He felt helpless, lying on the gurney watching the ceiling lights whiz by as he was being wheeled to surgery. Mr. Th ompson had selected this particular oral surgeon because of the sign outside his practice that read: “We cater to...
