Answer:

Synapse

Step-by-step explanation:

A neuronal junction or synapse is a form of communication between cells that happens with the transmission of electric impulses between two neurons, this process occurs when one neuron (presynaptic neuron) releases a neurotransmitter, stored in the synaptic vesicles, into the synaptic cleft reaching a second neuron (post-synaptic neuron) with specific receptors. In the image I added you can see how this synapse occurs.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
