Describe the steps of neural communication, from an action potential arriving at an axon terminal to neurotransmitter action stopping

  1. Action potential arrives at the axon terminal of the presymptomatic neuron 

  2. Neurotransmitters(NT) released into the synapse

    1. Neurotransmitters: chemicals that serve as messengers 

  3. Neurotransmitters bind receptors on postsynaptic neuron

  4. If there are enough neurotransmitters, postsynaptic neurons fire and action potential

  5. Neurotransmitter action is stopped by enzymes or reuptake
