Steps in neronal Communication
1. Action Potential (Electrical) - generated with the cell body at the axon hillock
2. Chemical - the action potential ruptures the synaptic vesicles at the axon terminal and neurotransmitters spill out, cross the synaptic gap, and bind with receptors
3. Electrical - after neurons are locking into receptors, there is a flurry of activity in the post synaptic neuron; a week new electrical signal may be generated via ions
