Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse is the junction between two neurons. It is a physiological continuity between two nerve cells. Thus synapse is a part of the nervous system. It serves as structural basis of communication between the neurons in the CNS and between muscle cells and neurons in the PNS.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synaptic function is to transmit nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and muscle cell. Synapses connect one neuron to another and are thus responsible for the transmission of messages from the nerves to the brain and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synapse is the gap between nerve ending of one neuron and dendrites of another. At synapse, the electrical impulse generated at dendrites of a neuron is passed on to dendrite of another neuron in the form of chemicals by on ending of the first neuron. Synapse ensures that nerve impulse travels only in one direction.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
