Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body.
Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons. The synapse consists of:
1. a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles,
2. a postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites for neurotransmitters and,
3. a synaptic cleft or space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic endings.
Neurotransmitter.
This area is referred to as the synaptic cleft. This area is bound by the end of one neuron (the terminal bouton) and the post-synaptic membrane of the next neuron. When an action potential reaches the terminal bouton, Ca2+ influx triggers the release of neurotransmitters across the cleft, which bind to receptors on the post-synaptic membrane, allowing for an post-synaptic excitatory potential (PSEP) to be formed in the next neuron.
The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.
i think the activitity of neoron is to pass the the information from one neuron to another neuron throuh electric signals and lastly it changes in to chemical when it reaches to the another neuron.
The junction where one neuron meets another is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals in the form of action potentials are converted into chemical signals in the form of neurotransmitters, which then transmit the signal to the next neuron.
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.

Yes, a synapse is the space (a VERY SMALL one!) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
At a synapse, one neuron sends signals to another neuron through the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, which can either excite or inhibit the next neuron's activity. This communication between neurons plays a crucial role in transmitting information throughout the nervous system.
Vesicle are not fusing with the membrane and releasing neurotransmitter.

It's called synapse
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
