Place the following events in a chemical synapse between two neurons in the correct
order.
exocytosis of synaptic vesicles
release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
inward flow of calcium (Ca2+) through activated voltage-gated
Ca2+ channels in the axon terminal membrane
binding of neurotransmitters to receptors in the post synaptic neuron's
cell membrane
opening of ligand-gated channels on the postsynaptic cell membrane
either depolarization or hyperpolarization of postsynaptic neuron
membrane
arrival of nerve impulse at the presynaptic neuron's axon terminus
