Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The space between the axon terminal and dendrite is called the synaptic cleft. The synaptic knob is the bulbous end of the axon terminal where neurotransmitters are released. Synaptic vesicles are small sacs within the synaptic knob that contain neurotransmitters. The synapse refers to the entire region where two neurons meet, including the synaptic cleft, synaptic knob, and dendrite.
