Synapse
Junction across which the nerve impulse passes from an
axon terminal > (muscle/gland cell)
Flow of impulse in 1 direction (only transmitted from 1 side)
Allow dispersal of impulses
Allow filtering out of continual unnecessary/unimportant
pre-synaptic
stimuli
Neurotransmitters = chemical substances
released from axon terms @ a synapse to carry
impulse across gap
vesicles
synaptic knob dendrite
synaptic cleft/gap
