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