Answer:
Synapse, also called neuronal junction, the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell. A synaptic connection between a neuron and a muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction. The function of the synapse is to transfer electric activity from one cell to another. The transfer can be from nerve to nerve, or the nerve to muscle. An electrical nerve impulse travels along the first axon. When the nerve impulse reaches the dendrites at the end of the axon, chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released. These chemicals diffuse across the synapse.
