==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A [[synapse]] is the gap between two [[neuron]]s that an [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical impulse]] must pass from one [[neuron]] to the next.
===About Synapses===
: The [[synapse]] is a very small gap to ensure the [[Impulse (Biology)|impulse]] is passed quickly and without losing strength.
: [[Chemical]]s called [[neurotransmitter]]s pass from one [[neuron]] to another across the [[synapse]].
