  • The synapse, also known as the neuronal junction, is where electric nerve impulses are transmitted between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector).
  • A synaptic connection that links a neuron to a muscle cell is known as a neuromuscular junction.
  • Each nerve fiber's terminal  swells to form a knoblike structure at a chemical synapse, which is separated from the fiber of a neighbouring neuron  by a small area called the synaptic cleft.
  • Synaptic clefts are about 0.02 micron in width.
  • When a nerve impulse reaches the presynaptic terminals, membrane-bound sacs, or synaptic vesicles, migrate toward the presynaptic membrane and fuse with it, releasing a chemical substance known as a neurotransmitter.
