synapse
Explanation:
chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released when stimulated by nerve transduction (an electrical signal that passes through the axon) - the neurotransmitters diffuse across the synapse where they are met by the dendrites of the adjacent nerve. These dendrites will stimulate an electrical signal through the body of the nerve down its axon, and the process of nerve impulse transduction continues along its path.
