4. The neurons that receive the information is called postsynaptic neurons.
5. The space between presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron is called synaptic cleft.
6. The knob like enlargement at the end of presynaptic neuron is called synaptic knob.
7. Synaptic knob contains numerous synaptic vesicles.
8. These synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, neuropeptides, catecholamines, etc.
9. Though, adrenaline or epinephrine is a hormone released by the adrenal gland, it is also produced by a few cells in the central nervous system and acts as a neurotransmitter helping neuronal communication.
