Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse is a junction between two neurons or a neuron and a target or effector cell such as a muscle cell. It permits transmission of electrical or chemical signals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Synapse is a junction between the branches at the end of the axon of one neuron and the dendrites or cell body of another neuron. Through this junction nerve impulse transmits from one neuron to other.
Detailed explanation-3: -The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the next is called a synapse.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of an axon, there is a so-called axon terminal that is button-like and is responsible for providing synapses between neurons. The axon terminal contains specialized chemicals called neurotransmitters that are initially contained inside the synaptic vesicles.
