ANS False
T or F: Only pre-synaptic neurons are coated with myelin. ANS False
T or F: When the presynaptic cell contacts a muscle cell, the synapse area is called a motor end plate. ANS
True
T or F: Receptors are made from membrane-bound polyribosomes. ANS True
, The terminal web: ANS is a site of exocytosis
T or F: Excitatory synapses cause depolarization of the post-synaptic cell ANS True
