Secretion in neurons occurs when an electrical signal reaches the nerve fiber's end, prompting the release of a chemical neurotransmitter that stimulates the subsequent cell.
When electrical signal reaches end of nerve fiber, a chemical neurotransmitter is secreted that crosses the gap and stimulates the next cell
