A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.

Motor neurons are the efferent neuron which carry impulses from CNS to muscles while relay neurons also known as Inter neurons connect both afferent and efferent neurons.
Sensory (afferent) neurons
interneurons also known as: ASSOCIATION NEURONS
The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus. Dendrites are extensions of the main cellular body of the neuron called the soma; the impulse is passed on to another neuron at the other end, which is called the axon. Neurons transmit impulses to each other via electro-chemical connections to each other that are known as synapses.
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.

interneurons also known as: ASSOCIATION NEURONS
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
Yes. A synapse by definition is the space (gap) between one neurons terminal buton and another neurons dendrites. So, the neuron with the terminal buton end is known as the pre-synaptic neuron and the neuron after the synapse is known as the post-synaptic neuron.

The synapse consists of the two neurons, one of which is sending information to the other. The sending neuron is known as the pre-synaptic neuron (i.e. before the synapse) while the receiving neuron is known as the post-synaptic neuron (i.e. after the synapse).
I have never heard of the term 'transmission zone' (which may be someone's personal name for what I'm about to explain) but neurons send their chemical signals across what is known as a synapse, the region where the axon of one neuron meets up with another neuron (most often a dendrite). The space between these two neurons (the non-neuron space in the synapse) is called the synaptic cleft. Through this space, neurotransmitters pass through and act on the receiving neuron once they reach it.
Efferent neurons (sometimes called motor neurons) transmit signals from the CNS to the effector cells.
Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.
This is called a neurotransmitter. While the predominant neurotransmitter in the brain is glutamate, this question could better be phrased as which compound doesn't act as neuromodulator or neurotransmitter. Transmitters such as Substance P, Neuropeptide Y are less known, but aspartate, acetylcholine, glycine, epinephrine which are neurotransmitters elsewhere in the body are also transmitters to some extent in the brain as wel.
Neuron is that cells that receiving and process information. This is also known as the nerve cell.
