Summary Introduction

To distinguish:

In between the excitatory and the inhibitory postsynaptic potentials.

Introduction:

An impulse is passed from the axon of a presynaptic neuron to the axon terminal. The axon terminal has a knob like vesicles called synaptic knobs that contain neurotransmitters that generate the nerve impulses.

When the impulses reach the synapse the calcium ions enter the cell membrane and result in the release of neurotransmitters. Then the neurotransmitters bind to the receptor present on postsynaptic neuron and generate a stimulatory or inhibitory response.
