 When an action potential reaches an axon terminal, calcium

• B) rushes out of the axon terminal, because this positively charged ion is repelled by the now-positive environment of the axon terminal.
• C) leaves the axon terminal as the action potential recedes, because that is when the calcium channels begin to open.
