AB CHEMICAL  SYNAPTIC  TRANSMISSION  can  be  divided  into  four  steps:  (1)  synthesis  and  storage  of  a  transmitter  substance,  (2)  release  of  the  transmitter,  (3)  interaction  of  the  transmitter  with  receptors  at  the  postsynaptic  membrane,  and  (4)  removal  of  the  transmitter  from  the  synapse.  In  the  previous  chapters,  we  considered  steps  2  and  3.  We  now  turn  to  the  initial  and  final  steps  of  chemical  synaptic  transmission:  the  synthesis  and  storage  of  transmitter  molecules  and  their  removal  from  the  synaptic  cleft  after  synaptic  action.
