Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The space that electrical messages travel across from one neuron to the next is called the synapse. The synapse is the junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron or between an axon and an effector cell, such as a muscle or gland cell. The neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft where they cross the small gap and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, initiating a response in the next neuron or effector cell.
