__________ is the process by which neurotransmitters are reclaimed by the axon terminal intact, and then are repackaged for immediate use.

A) Reception
B) Synaptic transmission
C) Reuptake
D) Reversal

Neurotransmitters

Chemical substances that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.

Axon Terminal

The endpoint of a neuron where neurotransmitters are stored before being released into the synaptic cleft to communicate with other neurons.

Reuptake

The process by which neurotransmitters are taken from the synaptic cleft back into the axon terminal for later use, thus terminating their excitatory or inhibitory effect on the receiving neuron.
