The nervous system is one of the most important elements for our existence and survival, since it allows the management, organization and functioning of the rest of the corporal systems.
The synapse is a communication mechanism that occurs between two or more neurons in order to massively transmit a nerve impulse in order to coordinate a function in the organism.
The Chemical Synapse is the type of major synapse in our body. In these synapses the information is transmitted chemically, through the sending by the presynaptic neuron of different neurotransmitters that the postsynaptic neuron captures through different receptors, whose action generates an alteration in the form of excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potential that may end or not with the generation of an action potencial by the postsynaptic neuron. They are versatile synapses, since some neurons can inhibit the action of others depending on what is activated. There is no physical contact between both neurons.
