Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse is the junction between two neurons, a neuron and a muscle cell or a neuron and a glandular cell. Synapses help to regulate the speed and direction of nerve impulses.

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.
