Understanding Synapses: Types & Functions by soniya93rani is a document available to read on EtoBox.

A synapse is a functional junction between two nerve cells, facilitating communication through various types of neural cells: sensory, interneurons, and motor neurons. Synapses can be classified anatomically (e.g., axo-dendritic, axo-somatic) and physiologically (e.g., chemical, electrical), with chemical synapses involving neurotransmitter release and electrical synapses allowing direct ion exchange. The primary function of synapses is to transmit impulses, categorized into excitatory and inhibitory types
