Summary Introduction

To draw:

The diagram of a chemical synapse, labeling the vesicles that contain neurotransmitter molecules and the receptors that bind the neurotransmitter to produce either an inhibitory or an excitatory stimulus in the postsynaptic cell.

Introduction:

An axon of a neuron has a small swelling at their end which is called as axon terminal. This terminal lies very close to the dendrite of next neuron. This close proximity of each neuron is called as synapse and the small gap between the synapses is called as synaptic cleft. Synaptic transmission is a process of neuron communication.
