The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma

This is called the 'soma'
Soma
The site where a motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the motor neuron releases neurotransmitters that signal the muscle cell to contract.
The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
The extensions of the neuron cell body (soma) are called dendrites. Refer to the related link below for an illustration of a neuron.
This type of nerve is called an efferent autonomic neuron.
