Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that travel across the synaptic cleft.

A nerve impulse passes across synaptic cleft ( also called synaptic gap) chemically through neurotransmitters to its destination.

Neurotransmitters are synthesized by nerve cells, actively transported along the axons and stored in the synaptic vesicles. Example of neurotransmitters include:

Noradrenaline,

Adrenaline,

Dopamine, and

Serotonin

When these neurotransmitters are released from the synaptic vesicles, they diffuse across the synaptic cleft to their specific receptor site.

The synaptic clefts acts as valves in that they ensure that impulses pass across them in one direction.

Therefore, in the transmission of a nerve impulse,the synaptic cleft helps to transmit information between the nerve and it's receptor site through the neurotransmitters.
