Chemical-gated ion channels causes ions to move across the cell membrane of the postsynaptic cell which produce or suppress action potential.
Vesicles releases neurotransmitter molecules into the synaptic cleft.
Neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptor proteins on the postsynaptic cell.
Neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft and interact with the postsynaptic cell.
Neurotransmitter molecules do not remain in the synaptic cleft indefinitely. It is either reabsorbed by the presynaptic cell or broken down by the enzymes in the synaptic cleft.
