Now, to describe how the electrical signal is actually passed down from the neuron to some cell, let's focus on a specific type of synapse known as the neuromuscular junction. The neuromuscular junction is a synapse that includes a neuron as well as a muscle cell. So this is our neuron. This is a synaptic terminal of the neuron. So over there is the axon. The axon basically carries our action potential and eventually that action potential comes to our synaptic terminal.
