Synapse

• Electrical impulse travels along a neurone to the synapse


  1. This causes the neurone to release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft

  2. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft

  3. The neurotransmitter binds with the receptors on the second neurone

  4. This causes the second neurone to transmit electrical impulse
