Answer:

the synapse, is the way in which the nervous information is transmitted in the organism; it can be between two neurons, between a neuron and an effector cell (muscle or gland), and it can be between a neuron and a recipient cell.

The monosynaptic reflex is a simple reflex that is formed by a single synapse between afferent and efferent neurons, the typical example is the patellar reflex.
