Electrical synapses

synaptic cleft

chemical synapse,

Dendrites receive incoming signals and carry them to the cell body

Axons carry signals (action potentials) away from the cell body and toward the synapse

A synapse is a junction between two neurons, that is, between the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell and the dendrite (or sometimes, the cell body itself) of the postsynaptic cell.
