Detailed Solution

When an action potential arrives at the axon terminal, it stimulates the release of neurotransmitters from the synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft. The released neurotransmitters bind to their specific receptors, present on the postsynaptic membrane. This binding opens ion channels allowing the entry of ions which can generate a new potential in the postsynaptic neuron.
