What is an axon-terminal?

An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.


What does not belong axon terminal synaptic knob bouton axon collateral?

Bouton does not belong as it refers to a swollen region along an axon where synapses are found, while axon terminal, synaptic knob, and axon collateral are all parts of the structure of a neuron.


What is terminal branch of axon?

dendrite


A nerve impulse starts at the dendrite then travels to the?

cell body, continues down the axon, and finally reaches the axon terminal. At the axon terminal, the impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons or muscles.


What part of neuron releases neurotransmitter my choices are axon axon terminal dendrite myelin sheath or cell body?

The axon terminal is the part of the neuron that releases neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft to communicate with other neurons or target cells.


What are the components of a function?

The dendritic tree (to bind neurotransmitters (NTs)), the soma (also referred to as the cell body), the axon hillock (where action-potentials initiate), the axon (propagates the electrical signal), and the axon terminal (release of neurotransmitters). The membrane properties are also different to the average cell because they contain receptors and a high density of ion channels. Inside the cell, NTs are synthesized and 'shipped' down the axon to the axon terminal on long thin filaments propelled by tiny actin/dynein 'motors'. Once at the terminal, the NTs wait at the 'presynaptic active zone' for release (which is prompted by the electrical signal conveyed down the axon from the axon hillock).
