Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse – The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, through which the two neurons communicate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron-another cell. Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the next is called a synapse.

Detailed explanation-4: -Within a neuron, the impulse moves to the tip of an axon and causes the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals that act as messengers. Neurotransmitters pass through the synapse, the gap between two nerve cells, and attach to receptors on the receiving cell.
