Neurotransmitters

Chemicals in the nervous system that transmit signals from one neuron to another, playing key roles in mood regulation, thought processes, and physical functions.

Synaptic Vesicles

Membrane-bound sacs within a neuron that store neurotransmitters, which are released into the synaptic cleft during synaptic transmission.

Synaptic Space

The small gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron, through which neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals.

Synaptic Cleft

The synaptic cleft is the small gap at the junction between neurons, through which neurotransmitters carry signals from one neuron to another.
