Neurotransmitter molecule binds to receptors that are Iocated on:
Correct answer: C. Post-synaptic membrane
- A. Synaptic knob
- B. Pre-synaptic membrane
- C. Post-synaptic membrane
- D. Synaptic cleft
Explanation
Neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptors that are located on the post-synaptic membrane, which is the cell membrane of the receiving neuron. When neurotransmitters bind to these receptors, they trigger a response in the postsynaptic neuron, either by opening ion channels or activating signaling pathways.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
