Create a model in the space below that demonstrates how neurotransmitters are released and act upon target cells. Start off by placing the items provided in the word bank into boxes. Upon filling in the boxes with the appropriate terms, represent the physiological relationships between the its by drawing in arrows between the terms. Finally, label the arrows to describe the relationship. An example is provided to help you get started. Stimulate/ Word Bank
