What specific neurotransmitter is released from the axon terminus?

You do not have single neurotransmitter, which is released from axon terminals. There are many. Some facilitate the conduction of the impulse and others inhibit the same. You have acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine and many others acting as neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles called the?
The neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles within the axon terminals.
What ion enters the axon nerve terminal to cause exocytosis of the neurotransmitter is called?
calcium
Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminal of a motor neuron contain what neurotransmitter?
Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters to be released into the synapses. In the case of most motoneurons, this neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (ACh). The neurons that interface with the sympathetic nervous system, also technically motoneurons, release norepinephrine.
What is the function of synaptic knob of axon terminal?
"When a nerve impulse reaches the synaptic knob at the end of an axon, synaptic vesicles release a neurotransmitter that diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific receptors on the postsyanptic membrane" Above From:Hole's essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology (tenth edition) page=220, figure9.9 Quick definition of the "Synaptic knob- Tiny enlargement at the end of an axon that secretes a neurotransmitter." Above From: Same book as before (Hole's essentials of Human...) page= 584 (Glossary)
What is the conducting unit of the nerve tissue?
The axon is the conducting part of the neuron. It conducts the impulse from the cell body to the terminals, where ion channels open in response to the impulse, mediators are activated, neurotransmitter crosses synapse and attaches at the post-synaptic membrane, opening the ion channels there and depolarizing the cell, and propagating the impulse towards another cell body via the post-synaptic cell's axon.
What part of neuron releases neurotransmitter my choices are axon axon terminal dendrite myelin sheath or cell body?
The neurotransmitter is released from the axon terminal.
What is the substance released at axon terminals?
The substance that is released at an axonal ending to propagate the nerve impulse to the next nerve or muscle is called
What do you call the chemical released by the axon that travels across a synapse and binds on the dendrites of the other neurons or body cells?
neurotransmitter neurotransmitter neurotransmitter
What is synaptic delay?
Synaptic delay is the period of time for neurotransmitter chemicals released from the axon terminus of the sending neuron to cross the synaptic gap by diffusion and attach to matching receptors on the receiving neuron, initiating a reaction (either stimulatory or inhibitory) in that neuron.
When the what reaches the end of the axon the neurotransmitter is released?
When the _____________reaches the ends of the axon the neurotransmitter is released and it diffuses to the muscle cell membrane to combine with receptors there?Sarcolemma
When the blank reaches the ends of the axon the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses to the muscle cell membrane?
Synaptic vesicle
What reaches the end of the axon when the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses to the muscle membrane to combine with receptors there?
nerve impulse
How do nerves impulse's across the synapse?
Most neurons have a chemical synapse, which is to say that a substance called a neurotransmitter is released from the first neuron (called pre-synaptic) to the next neuron called (post-synaptic). How is the release triggered? When an action potential reaches the terminus (end of the axon) there are specialized calcium channels that are opened (voltage-gated). The calcium bind so the inner membrane and triggers the release of small membrane bound vesicles which spill out their contents of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitter binds to specific receptors on the post-synaptic membrane and that causes the action potential to propagate on (or for the neurotransmitter to cause an action like a muscle contraction).
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles called the?
The neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles within the axon terminals.
What is the process of a neurotransmitter being absorbed into the axon terminal?
The process is called Teuptake
How do nerve impulses travel across the synapse?
By a chemical released by an axon.
What ion enters the axon nerve terminal to cause exocytosis of the neurotransmitter is called?
calcium
