First of all you need to understand that a chemical synapse is a biological junction. Neuron signals are transmitted through these junctions and they are responsible for forming neuron circuits within the central nervous system in human beings.
The synaptic transmission process can be summarized in the steps below:
Neurotransmitters are released. They then follow through the pre-synaptic cell—sending—neuron to the post-synaptic—receiving—cell.
