Flowchart on synaptic transmission: action potential, synaptic vesicles, diffusion across the synaptic gap and re-uptake

Flowchart: synaptic transmission

Flowchart content

  1. Dendrite picks up message (NT) and sends impulse along through cell body to axons

  2. Action potential arrives at terminal buttons

  3. Synaptic vesicles contain and store NTs. The impulse stimulates the release of the NT.

  4. The NT then diffuses across the synaptic gap and binds to specialised receptors on dendrites of next cell

  5. Once next cell is activated, produces either excitatory and inhabitory affect

  6. Pre-synaptic neuron then takes up and recycles the NT (re-uptake)
