Solution

The answer is:

  1. The first blank should be filled with "inactivation": be broken down into pieces that can no longer produce effects, with this process being called inactivation.

  2. The second blank should be filled with "diffusion": Sometimes, neurotransmitters float away from the synapse, no longer able to produce effects, known as diffusion.

Explanation:

  1. Inactivation: This term refers to the process by which neurotransmitters are broken down into inactive components, often by enzymes, so they can no longer produce effects. This is a common mechanism to terminate the action of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft.

  2. Diffusion: This term describes the process by which neurotransmitters move away from the synaptic cleft, reducing their concentration and thus their ability to bind to receptors and produce effects. This is a passive process that contributes to the termination of neurotransmitter action.
