Question

Why are the receptors on the postsynaptic neuron more important than the neurotransmitter released at the synapse for the response of the postsynaptic neuron?

Answer 1

The postsynaptic neuron is the neuron that receives the neurotransmitter that crosses the synapse and they may experience and action potential if the neurotransmitter is strong. Synaptic neuron generally works through the temporal summation as well as spatial summation. In the synapse presynaptic part is located in the axon part and located on the dendrite or Soma. They also exchange information with the synaptic neurons that respond to synaptic activity during regulation.

Postsynaptic neuron on the receptors is very important as compared to a neurotransmitter that released at the synapse for the postsynaptic neuron. These are those molecules that combined with the receptors on the supportive cell. Based on the release of chemicals from one neuron, this leads to cause the response with the transmission of chemicals. Synaptic neurons are also responsible to transfer the information from one postsynaptic receptor to another.
In the chemical synapse, action potential leads to cause the release of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. Binding of postsynaptic receptor the neurotransmitter cause the inhibitory and excitatory potentials by polarizing and hyperpolarising of the membrane.
