Axon terminals
A) are found within synaptic vesicles.

C) form synapses onto other cells.
D) are specialized synapses occurring on muscles.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axon terminals are the final branching of the axon and they form synapses onto other cells, including other neurons, muscle cells, and gland cells. Option A is incorrect because synaptic vesicles are found within axon terminals, not the other way around. Option B is incorrect because dendritic spines are the protrusions found along the length of dendrites. Option D is incorrect because specialized synapses occurring on muscles are called neuromuscular junctions, not axon terminals.
