Chemical Synapse: Steps of Synaptic Transmission
Description
This template shows the eight steps of chemical synaptic transmission, beginning with neurotransmitter synthesis and storage in vesicles and an action potential arriving at the presynaptic terminal. It continues through calcium influx, vesicle docking and release, receptor binding on the postsynaptic membrane, generation of a postsynaptic potential, and neurotransmitter removal by glial uptake with vesicular membrane retrieval.
