Synaptic vesicles discharge their contents by exocytosis into the synaptic cleft, which is the small gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. This allows for neurotransmitters to be released and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, transmitting signals between neurons.
A synaptic potential exists at the INPUT of a neuron (dendrite), and an action potential occurs at the OUTPUT of a neuron (axon). (from OldGuy)(from Ilantoren:) A synaptic potential is the result of many excitatory post synaptic potentials (epsp) each one caused by the synaptic vesicles released by the pre-synaptic terminus. If there are enough of these epsp then the responses will summate and depolarize the post-synaptic membrane at the axon hillock enough to fire an action potential.
Synaptic potential refers to the change in electrical potential at a synapse, where neurons communicate. In the context of pain, the transmission of pain signals between neurons involves synaptic potentials. When pain signals are transmitted across synapses, they can result in the perception of pain in the brain.
is the release of acetylcholine from the motor neuron into the synaptic cleft.
The substance found in synaptic vesicles is usually neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, or glutamate. These substances are released into the synapse when an action potential reaches the axon terminal, helping transmit signals from one neuron to another across the synaptic cleft.

This allows for neurotransmitters to be released and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, transmitting signals between neurons.
Neurotransmitters are released from the nerve terminals by a specialized exocytosis process, synaptic vesicles. These are small nearly uniform capsules that join with the cell membrane to expel their contents. Release is both quantal (set amount) and mediated by calcium.
In general, action potentials that reach the synaptic knobs cause a neurotransmitter to be released into the synaptic cleft. The arrival of the action potential opens voltage-sensitive calcium channels in the presynaptic membrane.
A synaptic potential is a change in the electrical potential of a neuron in response to the release of neurotransmitters at a synapse. It can be either excitatory, causing depolarization and promoting action potential firing, or inhibitory, causing hyperpolarization and reducing the likelihood of action potential firing. These changes in potential are essential for communication between neurons in the brain.
When the action potential arrives, synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitters are released by a process called exocytosis. This involves the fusion of the vesicle membrane with the presynaptic membrane, leading to the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
The tiny sacs in the synaptic knob are known as synaptic vessels. The synaptic vessels release chemicals into the bloodstream with each synapse.
Most neurons have a chemical synapse, which is to say that a substance called a neurotransmitter is released from the first neuron (called pre-synaptic) to the next neuron called (post-synaptic). How is the release triggered? When an action potential reaches the terminus (end of the axon) there are specialized calcium channels that are opened (voltage-gated). The calcium bind so the inner membrane and triggers the release of small membrane bound vesicles which spill out their contents of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitter binds to specific receptors on the post-synaptic membrane and that causes the action potential to propagate on (or for the neurotransmitter to cause an action like a muscle contraction).

synaptic cleft. This release allows the neurotransmitters to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to changes in its membrane potential and potentially initiating a new action potential in the receiving neuron.
The sack-like structures inside the synaptic knob containing chemicals are called synaptic vesicles. These vesicles store and release neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons. When an action potential reaches the synaptic knob, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft.
