Answer:

Synaptic signaling has a special structure called the synapse

Step-by-step explanation:

Synaptic signalling is often consider as a subtype of paracrine signalling.

Paracrine signalling is a form of cell-cell comunication in which one cell releases hormone (factor, messenger) that can diffuse through the short distance space to the other cell.

Synaptic signalling is the way by which nerve cells transmit signals. The junction between two nerve cells is synapse and it is a place where signal transmission occurs.
