the events at the chemical synapse in the correct order Binding of neurotransmitter opens ion channels creating graded potentials in postsynaptic neuron Neurotransmitter effects are terminated Ca2 entry causes synaptic vesicles to release neurotransmitter AP arrives at axon terminal of presynaptic neuron Neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane Voltage gated Ca2 channels open and Ca2 enters axon terminal
