Once the action potential reaches the end of the axon it needs to be transferred to the ____ of another neuron or tissue. It must cross over the ____ between the ____ neuron and post-synaptic neuron. At the end of the neuron (in the axon terminal) are the synaptic ____, which contain chemical messengers, known as ____.
