The correct order of the transmission of a neurotransmitter is
presynaptic preparation followed by the:
release of a transmitter, arrival of action potential, receptor
interaction, and termination of transmitter action.
arrival of action potential, receptor interaction, release of transmitter,
and termination of transmitter action.
release of transmitter, receptor interaction, arrival of action potential,
and termination of transmitter action.

Ans: pharmacodynamics.
Pharmacokinetics is:
the effect the drug has on the body.
the adverse response of the drug on the body.
the effect the body has on the drug.

Ans: the effect the body has on the drug.
Neurotransmitters are considered:
chemical substances.
electrical impulses.
vesicles.
nerve endings.
Ans: chemical substances.
When one drug displaces another drug from the binding sites on
