Chapter 28, Problem 28.6(choose chapter or problem)
Neurons communicate at synapses. The transmission of signals between neurons or between neurons and effector cells occurs at junctions called synapses. At electrical synapses, electrical signals pass directly between cells. At chemical synapses, the sending (presynaptic) cell secretes a chemical signal, a neurotransmitter, which crosses the synaptic cleft and binds to a specific receptor on the surface of the receiving (postsynaptic) cell.

Given data:
Neurons communicate at synapses. The transmission of signals between neurons or between neurons and effector cells occurs at junctions called synapses. At electrical synapses, electrical signals pass directly between cells. The sending (presynaptic) cell secretes a chemical signal at chemical synapses. This neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic cleft and binds to a specific receptor on the surface of the receiving (postsynaptic) cell.
