This diagram illustrates a synapse in the central nervous system. Neurotransmitter molecules are released from presynaptic terminals along the axon of nerve Cell A, travel through the synaptic cleft and reach the postsynaptic terminal on Cell B's dendrite. If the transmitter released reaches a peak concentration quickly (within 1 millisecond) as in a mature release, receptors can detect the messag...
