Synapse
a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter
Beispiel
Chemical synapses are the most common type of synapse, involving the release of neurotransmitters to transmit signals.
Neurotransmitters released into the synapse bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, facilitating the transmission of nerve impulses.
Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters in nerve cells, releasing them into the synapse during nerve signal transmission.
