A synapse is a junction between two neurons (or a neuron and an effector cell) where signals are transmitted. They can be classified in several ways: anatomically (axodendritic, axosomatic, etc.), physiologically (excitatory/inhibitory), chemically (by neurotransmitter type), morphologically (by shape/ultrastructure), and functionally (electrical vs. chemical).

Good finds. Now let me read the key sections from Guyton, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, and Junqueira's in parallel.

Excellent content retrieved. Now let me get more detail from Guyton on synaptic physiology, and from the Neuroanatomy book on further classification details.
