Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -synapse, also called neuronal junction, the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector). A synaptic connection between a neuron and a muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transmission of nerve impulses between two neurons takes place through the synapse. At the end of the axon, the electrical impulse sets off the release of some chemicals (neurotransmitters). These chemicals cross the gap or synapse and start a similar electrical impulse in the dendrite of the next neuron.
