Solution & Explanation

Related Formula
Pre-synaptic Knob Neurotransmitter release Synaptic Cleft Binds to Post-synaptic Membrane Receptors
Core Logic

When an action potential arrives at the axon terminal, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters specifically bind to specific receptor sites located on the post-synaptic membrane, opening ion channels and generating a new potential.

Step 1: Conclusion

Neurotransmitter receptors are present on the post-synaptic membrane.

Pattern Recognition

Sees: "receptors for neurotransmitters in synapse". Shortcut: Present on post-synaptic membrane.
