Cells that help create and assist the function of synapse's.
In layman's terms brain cells.
synaptic cleft, where neurotransmitters are released by the synaptic terminal and bind to receptors on the muscle fiber to trigger a muscle contraction.
At the end of an axon terminal branch, you will find structures called synaptic boutons or synaptic terminals. These structures contain neurotransmitter vesicles that store and release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the next neuron or target cell.
Synaptic adhesion molecules span the synaptic cleft, holding the axon terminal to the dendrite. There are a number of different kinds of synaptic adhesion molecules, which typically have a portion that starts slightly inside an axon terminal and protrudes outside more than halfway into the synaptic cleft, meeting and over-lapping and sticking against a companion sam protruding similarly from a dendrite, thus maintaining the relative position of the axon terminal and dendrite.
Neurotransmitters are typically synthesized and stored in the synaptic vesicles of the presynaptic terminal, which is located at the end of the neuron. When an action potential arrives, these vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the postsynaptic neuron.
The axon is a long, slender projection that carries electrical impulses away from the cell body. The axonal terminal, or synaptic knob, is the end of the axon that forms a synapse with another neuron or target cell. The synaptic knob contains neurotransmitter vesicles that are released into the synapse to communicate with the next cell.

Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the terminals of presynaptic neurons. When an action potential reaches the terminal, these vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to facilitate communication between neurons.
The tiny sacs in the synaptic knob are known as synaptic vessels. The synaptic vessels release chemicals into the bloodstream with each synapse.
Synaptic Cleft.
The space between the synaptic end bulbs of an axon terminal and the sarcolemma is called the synaptic cleft. It is a small gap that neurotransmitters traverse to transmit signals between neurons and muscle cells. The neurotransmitters released from the axon terminal bind to receptors on the sarcolemma, triggering muscle contraction.

No, synaptic transmission is chemical, not electrical.

The space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they then bind to receptors on the dendrites of the receiving neuron to transmit the nerve signal.
A synaptic terminal contains synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons. It also includes mitochondria for energy production, endoplasmic reticulum for protein synthesis, and other organelles necessary for synaptic function.
The space between the terminal bouton and dendrite is called the synaptic cleft, or synapse.
