of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
# After its release, the transmitter diffuses across the synpatic cleft and binds to neurotransmitter gated ion channels on the membrane of the postsynaptic dendrite (next nerve).
# Binding of the neurotransmitter stimulates adjacent Na voltage gates channels on the postsynaptic membrane to open and activates a receptor in the postsynaptic membrane.
# Na diffuses though Na voltage gated channels into postsynaptic dendrite triggering depolarization of the downstream neuron.
