Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terminal buttons, also known as axon terminals or synaptic terminals, are the swollen, bulblike structures at the end of the neuron that make it possible for the neuron to stimulate nearby glands, muscles, or other neurons. They release neurotransmitters into the synapse, which activate receptors on the adjacent cells. Vesicles are small spherical sacs within the axon terminals that contain neurotransmitters. Axons are the long, threadlike extensions of the neuron that transmit electrical signals away from the cell body, while dendrites are the branched extensions that receive inputs from other neurons.
