The nerve signal arrives at a synaptic knob and causes calcium channels to open. This allows the calcium ions to enter the synaptic knob. Calcium ions entry into the synaptic knob triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, which release acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft.

What type of ion channel opens on the synaptic end bulb in response to depolarisation?

Calcium (Ca2+) channels open on the synaptic end bulb in response to depolarization (from the action potential), inducing exocytosis of synaptosomes containing neurotransmitter, resulting in neurotransmitter being released into the synaptic cleft...further propagating the signal to the next neuron or set of neurons.
