Reabsorption of neurotransmitters into the presynaptic neuron is referred to as

A) cyclomyosis.
B) regrading.
C) uploading.
D) reuptake.

Reabsorption

The process by which substances are taken back into the bloodstream from bodily fluids; commonly associated with the kidneys reabsorbing nutrients and water.

Presynaptic Neuron

The neuron that sends a signal across the synaptic gap to a receiving neuron during neurotransmission.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Reuptake is the process by which neurotransmitters are taken back into the presynaptic neuron. This ensures that the neurotransmitters can be reused and prevents them from accumulating in the synapse.
