No, nerve cells, also known as neurons, are not the smallest cells. The smallest cells are bacteria-like cells known as mycoplasma. Nerve cells are much larger in size compared to mycoplasma cells.
Human cells also include human nerve cell. The connections are from the nerve cell to the other cells by way of extensions called dendrites.
NERONS
Fat cells do not have nerve cells because they are primarily made up of adipocytes, which are specialized cells for storing fat. Nerve cells, on the other hand, are responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body and are not typically found within fat tissue.
Actually, association nerve cells, also known as interneurons, primarily function to form connections between sensory and motor nerve cells, helping to integrate and process information within the nervous system. They play a crucial role in determining how the body responds to sensory information and in coordinating complex behaviors.

a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
the microscopic nerve fibers are called chemocytes
A synapse.
I wouldn't use the word "occur" since a synapse is a structure, not an event, but yes, it is located between nerve cells, or more specifically, it is where the dendrites of two nerve cells meet.

a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine (ACh) is produced between nerve cells. This neurotransmitter carries the signal (in chemical form) at the synaptic junction.
communication between cells
Alcohol can disrupt communication between nerve cells by affecting neurotransmitter levels and decreasing the ability of nerve cells to function properly. Chronic alcohol consumption can damage nerve cells and lead to issues with memory, cognition, and coordination.
