Two Distinct Types of Neurotransmitter Receptors
Description
This template compares two types of neurotransmitter receptors: ligand-gated ion channels, where neurotransmitter binding directly opens a channel to let ions in, and G-protein-coupled receptors, where neurotransmitter binding activates a G-protein that signals through intracellular messengers to open a separate ion channel. Each pathway is shown in numbered steps with the neurotransmitter, receptor, and resulting ion flow labeled.
