Why is the action potential necessary for the release of neurotransmitters a Voltage gated K ion channels open and the K ion outflow causes neurotransmitters to diffuse across the synaptic cleft b The K Nat ion pump maintains the resting membrane potential which causes neurotransmitters to move out of the cells through osmosis c The influx of Clions causes the synaptic vesicles to dissolve and release neurotransmitters d Voltage gated Ca ion channels need to open causing Ca ion influx and fusion of the synaptic vesicles with the membrane releasing the neurotransmitter
