Detailed explanation-1: -The molecules of neurotransmitter diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptor proteins on the postsynaptic cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neurotransmitter – A chemical released from a neuron following an action potential. The neurotransmitter travels across the synapse to excite or inhibit the target neuron.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are many different types of neurotransmitters, with acetylcholine being the most well-studied. It is used in peripheral neuromuscular synapses, autonomic ganglia, and some central synapses.
Detailed explanation-4: -The neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. Depending on the specific neurotransmitter and postsynaptic receptor, this action can cause positive (excitatory postsynaptic potential) or negative (inhibitory postsynaptic potential) ions to enter the cell.
