Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A common form of a synapse involves a junction between an axon terminal (end of an axon) and a dendrite (branching extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons). This junction is called synaptic cleft or synaptic gap, and it is where neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal and taken up by the dendrite to relay the signal.
