Hi guys!
i just wanted to ask if this a good description of the process of neurotransmission?
The arrival of an action potential/ nerve impulse initiates signal transduction
This results in vesicles containing neurotransmitters to fuse with the plasma membrane
Neurotransmitters diffuse across a synaptic cleft via exocytosis
The neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the surface of the post- synaptic neuron again triggering signal transduction
Excess neurotransmitters are destroyed by enzymes
if not, how can i fix the wording? thanks in advance ;D

The neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the surface of the post- synaptic neuron or effector organ/gland again triggering signal transduction
Excess neurotransmitters are destroyed by enzymes NTs are removed by various methods including enzymatic destruction or reuptake into the presynaptic neuron

Perfect!! thank you ;D
