The space between the terminal button of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the terminal button and diffuse across this space to bind to receptors on the dendrite, allowing communication between the two neurons.
The space between the axon of one cell and a dendrite of another is called the synaptic cleft. This small gap is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
The space between the sending neuron's axon terminal and the receiving neuron's dendrite is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released into this space to transmit signals between neurons.

To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.
Synapse.

synapse
The tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals from the axon are transmitted to the dendrite or muscle through the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
