Chemicals that bridge the synaptic gap are called neurotransmitters.
nuerotransmitter
Nerve impulses, which are electrical, do not jump across the synaptic gap at synapses. Instead, the arrival of a nerve impulse at the axon terminal triggers the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters from the axon terminal into the synaptic gap, the nerve impulses then travel across the chemicals to the place where it needs to go to
The synaptic cleft.
This gap is called the synaptic cleft.

Synaptic delay is the period of time for neurotransmitter chemicals released from the axon terminus of the sending neuron to cross the synaptic gap by diffusion and attach to matching receptors on the receiving neuron, initiating a reaction (either stimulatory or inhibitory) in that neuron.

synaptic vesicles
The tiny sacs in the synaptic knob are known as synaptic vessels. The synaptic vessels release chemicals into the bloodstream with each synapse.
A synaptic cleft is the gap into which a chemical is released.

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron. These neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals between neurons in the brain and nervous system.
The transfers that happens in the synapses conduct biochemical information from the neuron cells. The synapse, or synaptic cleft is the gap between to neuron cells. Nerotransmitters are chemicals that are released from one neuron (known as the pre-synaptic) and bond to receptors on the receiving neuron (known as the post-synaptic). The transfers that happens in the synapses conduct biochemical information from the neuron cells.
