Expert Solution
Step 1

Neurons communicate or transmit impulses at their synapses. At this region, the presynaptic neuron which is sending the impulse undergoes a firing action that allows the impulse to be transmitted to the postsynaptic neuron which is receiving the impulse. This causes the postsynaptic neuron to fire its own action potential. In the gap between the presynaptic neuron and the postsynaptic neuron is the synaptic cleft that has synaptic vesicles.
