    The document discusses the synapse and how messages are transmitted between neurons. It describes the key components of the synapse including the pre and post synaptic membranes, the synaptic cleft, and the chemicals involved. It also mentions that it is important for the chemicals to be removed after a message is sent. Another part of the document puts sentences in the correct order to describe how electrical impulses travel along axons and trigger the release of neurotransmitters which diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors, stimulating the next neuron.
