Synaptic facilitation, a form of short-term plasticity, is primarily due to . A. insertion of AMPA receptors into the post-synaptic membrane B. depletion of the releasable pool of vesicles C. prolonged elevation of presynaptic calcium levels following synaptic activity D. changes in Na channels located on the post-synaptic membrane

The correct answer is - C. prolonged elevation of presynaptic calcium levels following synaptic activity.

Explanation:

Synaptic facilitation is a process of short-term plasticity that transiently increases synaptic transmission for less than a second, which is considered an essential part of playing a critical role in information transfer and neural processing.

It is evident that such an increase in the synaptic transmission is occur due to prolonged elevation of presynaptic calcium levels following synaptic activity.

structure is maintained and sustained by:

-cytoskeleton: gives cells coherence

-cell wall: support

-cytoplasm: shape
