synaptic release theory

Synaptic release theory explains how nerve cells communicate. When a nerve cell receives a signal, tiny sacs called vesicles in the cell's end release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the small gap (synapse) between cells. These chemicals then bind to receptors on the neighboring cell, transmitting the signal. This process involves vesicles merging with the cell membrane to release neurotransmitters, enabling rapid and precise communication crucial for brain function, muscle movement, and other bodily processes.
