Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction: 

The synapse is the junction between two neurons where signals or nerve impulses are exchanged. The synapse allows the passage of the action potential to a neighbouring neuron known as the postsynaptic neuron when the action potential or impulse reaches the end of the presynaptic neuron (first neuron). Neurotransmitter is present in the vesicles. These vesicles are present in the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron.
