The neural junction over which a message is transmitted is called a synapse. It is a small gap between two neurons where neurotransmitters are released to carry signals from one neuron to another. The transmission of signals across synapses is crucial for communication within the nervous system.
This gap is called a synaptic gap and a chemical called a neurotransmitter is used as a bridge over the gap.This message is carried via neurotransmitters. There are several types. Some speed up the transmission or slow it down or even stop it. They are like chemical bridges.
A neuron turns electrical impulses into chemical signals called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are released from one neuron and travel across a synapse to the next neuron, where they trigger a new electrical signal.
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
A synaptic potential exists at the INPUT of a neuron (dendrite), and an action potential occurs at the OUTPUT of a neuron (axon). (from OldGuy)(from Ilantoren:) A synaptic potential is the result of many excitatory post synaptic potentials (epsp) each one caused by the synaptic vesicles released by the pre-synaptic terminus. If there are enough of these epsp then the responses will summate and depolarize the post-synaptic membrane at the axon hillock enough to fire an action potential.

Neurotransmitters are released and go into the synaptic cleft.
Here are some definitions of the word synapse: 1. The association of homologous chromosomes with chiasma formation that is characteristic of the first meiotic prophase and is held to be the mechanism for genetic crossing-over. 2. The definition of a synapse is the junction between two neurons or nerve cells where there is a small gap that neurotransmitters help nerve impulses to cross. 3. In popular culture, "synapse" is often used to describe a thought in a most artistic form, or even a "jerk reaction" to a certain stimuli. It would seem that the term means a place where two things (or ideas) come together or a union is formed. The synapse in the nervous system is a very tiny space when information is carried by neurotransmitters to allow the information to continue on.

Neurotransmitters. It's purely chemical.
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.

No they do not. Information (neurotransmitters) is electrically fired over to the next neuron.
