A simplified schematic illustrates a chemical synapse with a narrow synaptic cleft separating a presynaptic axon terminal from a broader postsynaptic membrane. In the biological hierarchy, the cleft is a subcellular specialization at a neuron-to-neuron junction within neural tissue of the nervous system. In neuroscience and physiology, this structure enables synaptic transmission as neurotransmitters released from synaptic vesicles diffuse across the cleft to activate postsynaptic receptors; the entities depicted are cellular components rather than whole organs, and the species is unspecified.
