Synapse

Description
2 The axon terminal stores neurotransmitter ( green) inside synaptic vesicles.

3 The arrival of an action potential at an axon terminal causes calcium ions (Ca++) to enter the neuron.

4 The influx of Ca++ causes exocytosis of  synaptic vesicles, so neurotransmitter is released into the  synaptic cleft.
