A schematic cross-section depicts a chemical synapse with a presynaptic axon terminal releasing neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft, targeting ligand-gated ion channel receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. Within the hierarchy of neural tissue, it represents a neuron-to-neuron cellular junction containing vesicles and mitochondria. In neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, this structure enables rapid signal transmission by neurotransmitter binding and subsequent ion flux at the axon terminal and adjacent postsynaptic cell.
