Calcium ions
The process by which vesicles inside the cell fuse with the cell membrane and release their contents into the synaptic cleft is called exocytosis. There are probably specific neurotransmitter release sites along the presynaptic membrane of the endfoot. The influx of calcium ions in some ways activates these sites, causing the membrane of a vesicle to fuse with the presynaptic membrane, opening the vesicle and spilling its contents into the synaptic cleft.

Multiple Choice Electrical signals reaching the axon terminal causes A) Exocytosis of neurotransmitters into synaptic cleft B) Opening of ligand gated Ca channels C) IPSP or EPSP at axon terminal D) Release of neurotransmitter
