Terminal Branches of a Neuron

Synapse: This is the gap between two neurons where communication occurs. It's like the driveway or walkway leading up to each house where packages are delivered.

Neurotransmitters: These are chemical messengers that cross synapses from one neuron to another. They're like the actual packages being delivered by our driver.

Axon: This is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. It’s akin to the road network our delivery driver uses to reach his destinations.
