It depends on what the next structure is. If it is another neurone, then it is a synapse. If it is skeletal muscle, then the it is a neuromuscular junction. If it is any other type of muscle, then it is a myoneural junction.

In the reflex arc, a muscle or gland is considered to be the effector. Its role is to respond to the stimulus provided by the sensory neuron and produce the appropriate action, such as muscle contraction or gland secretion.
An axon of an efferent neuron could synapse with a muscle fiber, gland, or another neuron in the peripheral nervous system.
The pathway that an impulse travels from your foot back to your leg is an example of a reflex arc. A reflex arc includes a sensory receptor (in this case, a receptor in your toe), sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector (leg muscle). Some reflex arcs include interneurons. In other reflex arcs, a sensory neuron communicates directly with a motor neuron.
The simplest pathway of an impulse involves the sensory neuron transmitting a signal to the interneuron in the spinal cord, which then relays the signal to the motor neuron, causing a response in a muscle or gland. This pathway is known as a reflex arc and allows for rapid, automatic responses to stimuli without involving the brain.
axon
When a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, an impulse is transmitted via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the impulse is processed and a response is generated, which is then sent via a motor neuron to the effector (muscle or gland) to carry out the reflex reaction. This entire pathway occurs rapidly and automatically without involvement of the brain.

synapse
A reflex arc involves the following components:The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus.The sensory neuron transmits the impulse to the spinal cord.The integration center involves one synapse (monosynaptic reflex arc) or two or more synapses (polysynaptic reflex arc) in the gray matter of the spinal cord.A motor neuron transmits a nerve impulse from the spinal cord to a peripheral region.An effector is a muscle or gland that receives the impulse from the motor neuron. In somatic reflexes, the effector is skeletal muscle. In autonomic (visceral) reflexes, the effector is smooth or cardiac muscle, or a gland.
A motor neuron sends its message, in the form of an electrical signal called an action potential, to a specific muscle to stimulate contraction. This signal travels down the neuron's axon to its terminal branches, where neurotransmitters are released to activate the muscle fibers.
I believe it is the Neuron?

A nervous impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron, travels through the cell body and axon, and then is passed on to the next neuron via a synapse. This sequence repeats until the impulse reaches its destination, such as a muscle or gland, where it triggers a response.
