</span><span>A synapse is a structure that allows a neuron (which is one type of animal cells) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron. That second neuron will then target a certain cell, causing a stimulus in the cell. This permits a direct contact between the cells. </span> <span> Dendrites are extensions of a neuron that recieve the signal and propagate it to the rest of the neuron.</span>
