Hint	Answer
Prior	when a neuron is activated the inside becomes positively charged which causes an action potential to occur
Step 1	Electrical impulse travels down the axon and arrives at the presynaptic terminal
Step 2	A synaptic vesicle full of neurotransmitters is formed
Step 3	the neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft

Hint	Answer
Step 4	they diffuse across the synaptic cleft transmitting an electrical impulse to the post synaptic neuron
Step 5	the neurotransmitter binds to the receptors on the post synaptic membrane
Step 6	stimulation of the post synaptic receptors results in excitation or inhibition
Step 7	likelihood of firing an action potential depends on summation
