Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be sent to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to ...

a signal must cross the gap between neurons (the synapse), where it is translated from an electrical signal to a chemical signal. The action potential causes the release of molecules called ...

Transmission of information or signal from one neuron to another requires the establishment of a neuronal synapse: either ...
