Q

How does a synapse work

use: axon terminal, vesticles, synaptic gap, repetor proteins, dendrite

A

At the end of a neurone’s axon, is an Axon terminal . As an electrical impulse arrives, vesicles containing are stimulated and they release these chemicals into the synaptic gap between neurones.
These then diffuse across the gap, binding with repetor proteins on the surface of dendrite the of the next neurone. If enough binding occurs an impulse is triggered along this neurone.
