What happens at the synapse between two neurons?

The neurons lie end-to-end in a chain to transmit the impulses in an animal body. There occurs a very minute gap between the terminal portion of axon of one neuron and dendron of the other neuron. This gap is called synapse. At the end of the axon, the electrical impulse sets off the release of some chemicals. These chemicals cross the gap (synapse) and start a similar electrical impulse in the dendrite of the next neuron.

Sinapse finally allows delivery of impulses from neurons to other cells, such as muscle cells or gland.

At Synapse nerve impulse of a nerve cell gets converted to neurotransmitters which travels towards dendrites of next neuron leading to electric impulse.

Transmission of impulse from one neuron to the other takes place at the synapse between two neurons.
