Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The swellings or knobs at the end of the axon are called axon terminals. Synaptic vesicles are small sacs within the axon terminals that store neurotransmitters. Synapses are the tiny gaps between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrites or cell body of another neuron. Receptor sites are specific locations on the dendrites or cell body of a neuron that receive neurotransmitters from other neurons.
