Neurotransmitters released into the synapse may be reuptaken into the axon endings from which they originated. One name for this process is:
 
  a. retracing.
  b. deactivation.
  c. recapture.
  d. inhibitory transmission.

Question 2

Suppose the reuptake of a specific neurotransmitter were deficient and the deactivation enzymes associated with the neurotransmitter were also deficient. What effect would this have?
 
  a. There would be more of the neurotransmitter in the synapse.
  b. There would be less of the neurotransmitter in the synapse.
  c. Since the two deficiencies would balance each other out, there would be no change in the levels of the neurotransmitter.
  d. The neurons would become especially sensitive to the neurotransmitter.
