The simplest answer is: dendrites, soma, axon.

Neurons have inputs called dendrites, a cell body called a soma, a portion of the soma called the axon hillock which determines whether or not a sufficiently strong impulse has reached it to fire the neuron, an axon which is the output of the neuron, axon terminals which contain vesicles of neurotransmitters, ending at a synapse which is comprised of the axon terminals, a gap called the synaptic cleft, and the dendrites of the next neuron.

Neurons - are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. These specialized cells are the information-processing units of the brain responsible for receiving and transmitting information. Each part of the neuron plays a role in the communication of information throughout the body

What is the structure or gap called where one neuron can pass a signal to another neuron or cell?

The structure where one neuron passes a signal to another neuron or cell is called a synapse. It consists of a small gap known as the synaptic cleft, where neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating communication between the two.

What is the input of the neuron structure?

A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
