1^st Question "What happens after axon"
- ⋯ Action potentials are transmitted along axons to
  specialised regions called synapses, where the axons
  contact the dendrites of other neurons. These consist of
  a presynaptic nerve ending, separated by a small gap from
  the postsynaptic component which is often located on a
  dendritic spine. The electrical currents responsible for the
  propagation of the action potential along axons cannot
  bridge the synaptic gap. Transmission across this gap is
  accomplished by chemical messengers called
  neurotransmitters
