At a Synapse Two?

Synapse Transmission. There are two types of synapses found in your body: electrical and chemical. Electrical synapses allow the direct passage of ions and signaling molecules from cell to cell. In contrast, chemical synapses do not pass the signal directly from the presynaptic cell to the postsynaptic cell.

What happens at the synapse of two neurons?

At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell. ... At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.
