- Synopsis
- This page shows a synapse in action. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left, when the image is the correct way up. The synapse is where one neuron meets the next neuron. Only the very end of the neuron is shown on the left and the very beginning of the next neuron on the right. The impulse arrives from the left. This stimulates chemicals in the end of the first neuron to move into the synaptic gap. The chemicals attach to receptors to the right in the start of the next neuron. This triggers a new impulse which goes right along the neuron.
