How does synaptic transmission take place?

Answer 1

The synaptic transmission is where the communication between the terminal button and the dendrite occur. What happens is the impulse moves along the axon and release neurotransmitter from the end plate of the presynaptic neuron and are diffused across the synaptic cleft. This creates a depolarization of the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron. When that happens the postsynaptic's sodium channels to open and start the action potential. Once the channels are open an enzyme called cholinesterase is released from postsynaptic membrane and it acts to destroy the neurotransmitters. When they are destroyed the sodium channels close and begins recovery.

Answer 2

Synaptic transmission moves information from the presynaptic cell to the postsynaptic cell. When an action potential arrives at the terminal, it must be released into the synaptic cleft then passed on to the postsynaptic cell.
