Yes, Autoreceptors are located at the receptor site on the presynaptic neuron. They provide feedback on the amount of neurotransmitter release in the synaptic cleft in order to regulate its level through the activity of G proteins and second messengers.
Autoreceptors are located on the presynaptic neuron and are activated by neurotransmitters released by that neuron. When neurotransmitter levels reach a certain threshold, autoreceptors inhibit further release of neurotransmitters, providing negative feedback regulation to control neurotransmission and maintain homeostasis in the nervous system.
The calcium ion is responsible for causing the presynaptic vesicle to fuse to the axon membrane in a process called exocytosis. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, calcium ions enter the terminal and trigger the fusion of the vesicle with the axon membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
The axon terminals of a neuron form the presynaptic neuronal membrane. These structures contain synaptic vesicles that store neurotransmitters for release at the synapse.
The sites where a chemical substance is transmitted from the presynaptic terminal of an axon to the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber are called neuromuscular junctions. At these junctions, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from the presynaptic terminal and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, initiating muscle contraction.
The presynaptic membrane is the part of a neuron that releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft during neurotransmission. It contains specialized proteins, such as voltage-gated calcium channels, that facilitate the influx of calcium ions when an action potential arrives, triggering the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the membrane. This process allows neurotransmitters to be released and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, thus transmitting the neural signal. Additionally, the presynaptic membrane plays a role in recycling and reuptake of neurotransmitters after they have performed their function.

Calcium ions trigger the release of neurotransmitter at the presynaptic membrane. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, it causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open, allowing calcium ions to enter the cell. The influx of calcium ions triggers the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, leading to the release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
Your question isn't very clear.... Presynaptic knob is the neurone before the synapse. Postsynaptic knob is the neurone after the synapse. Calcium ions diffuse into the presynaptic knob down their concentration gradient when an impulse arrives at the presynaptic knob. This causes the vesicles to move towards the presynaptic membrane and fuse with it. This releases the neurotransmitter (e.g. Ach). The Ach diffuses down their concentration gradient in the synaptic cleft then binds with receptors on the post synaptic membrane. This binding causes the Na+ ion channels to open, and the influx of Na+ ions causes depolarisation, and a new action potential in the postsynaptic knob. Then the acetate and choline diffuses back into the presynaptic membrane and is recombined using ATP.
They don't, the neurotransmitters stay on either side of the synapse. Neurotransmitters are released when the synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic neuron's membrane, so as to release them into the synaptic cleft.
depolarization of the presynaptic membrane due to an arriving action potential
Serotonin is primarily stored in synaptic vesicles located in the presynaptic terminals of serotonergic neurons. When an action potential reaches the terminal, these vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane, releasing serotonin into the synaptic cleft. This release allows serotonin to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating neurotransmission.
Let's picture a presynaptic neuron, a synaptic cleft, and a postsynaptic neuron. An action potential reaches the terminal of a presynaptic neurone and triggers an opening of Ca ions enters into the depolarized terminal. This influx of Ca ions causes the presynaptic vesicles to fuse with the presynaptic membrane. This releases the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters diffuse through the synaptic cleft and bind to specific postsynaptic membrane receptors. This binding changes the receptors into a ion channel that allows cations like Na to enter into the postsynaptic neuron. As Na enters the postsynaptic membrane, it begins to depolarize and an action potential is generated.
Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) must flow into the presynaptic cell for neurotransmitter release. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, voltage-gated calcium channels open, allowing Ca²⁺ to enter the cell. This influx of calcium triggers the fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, leading to the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
