the narrow gap that separates the axon terminal of one nerve cell from another nerve cell or muscle fiber (cell) and across which a neurotransmitter diffuses to affect the postsynaptic cell

The tiny gap at the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron. Reference: B2

is the extracellular gap between the presynaptic nerve terminal and the postsynaptic nerve process. It is typically in the region of 50 nm

narrow gap between adjoining cells, where neurotransmitters flow from one cell to another.

(sihn-AHP-tihk clehft) A part of the synapse that consists of the space between neurons or neuron and muscle fiber across which the neurotransmitter must diffuse.

The space between the end of a neuron and an adjacent cell. PICTURE
