Solution

The events of a chemical synapse in chronological order are:

  1. An action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal.
  2. Voltage-gated Ca++ channels open.
  3. Ca++ diffuses into the presynaptic terminal.
  4. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft.
  5. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
