I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The provided material only shows an image caption indicating there is a diagram of a chemical synaptic connection, but contains no explanatory text about what a synapse is or why it matters. To write an accurate, fact-based overview, I would need contextual information that actually defines and explains synapses.

Sinapses são zonas ativas de contato entre uma terminação nervosa e outros neurônios, células musculares ou células glandulares. Do ponto de vista anatômico e funcional, uma sinapse é composta por três grandes compartimentos: membrana da célula pré-sináptica, fenda sináptica e membrana pós-sináptica. Os principais tipos de contato sináptico são: axo-somático (entre um axônio e o corpo celular), axo-dendrítico (entre um axônio e um dendrito), neuroefetor (entre a terminação nervosa e a célula efetora, fibra muscular lisa, fibra muscular cardíaca ou célula glandular), neuromuscular (entre a terminação nervosa e a fibra muscular esquelética).
