Synaptic Cleft and Action Potential

A in the picture can be labelled as the

• presynaptic neuron

• post synaptic neuron

B in the picture can be labelled as the

• presynaptic neuron

• post synaptic neuron

This neuron carries the nerve impulse towards the synapse.

• presynaptic neuron

• post synaptic neuron

This neuron carries the nerve impulse away from the synapse.
