Post-tetanic facilitation is thought to be the result of which of the following?
Post-tetanic facilitation is the neuronal phenomenon in which a neuron is more easily excited after a brief period of activity. This phenomenon is thought to be due to the buildup of calcium in the presynaptic membrane caused by the prior neuronal activity. Subsequent neuronal impulses release neurotransmitter more readily as a result of this preplaced calcium from the prior stimulus.
Opening of voltage-gated sodium channels
Opening of transmitter-gated potassium channels
A buildup of calcium in the presynaptic terminal
Electrotonic conduction
