The axon terminals contain chemicals, called "neurotransmitters," which are released in order for the cell to communicate with nearby cells.

Does a stimulus traveling toward a synapse appear to open calcium ion channels in the axon terminal?
True
What triggers the release of acetylcholine from a synaptic terminal?
Limbic system, a part of nervous system releases Acetyl colin
What are retrograde neurotransmitters?
Retrograde neurotransmitters are released from dendrites and alter the activity of neighbouring cells. This process is the opposite of typical neurotransmitters, which are released from the axon terminal (of a post synaptic neuron) and act on dendrites. Two examples are the gaseous neurotransmitters Carbon Monoxide and Nitric Oxide.
Chemical substance released at the axon terminals are called?
the signals are known as Action pottential. and the chemical substances or signal molecules are known as Neurotransmiters
Does potassium help with nerve function?
both Potassium and Sodium are necessary for nerves to function because the action of a nerve impulse travelling along a nerve axon involves a successive moving of na and k ions between the inside and outside of the axon. When a nerve impulse is initially triggered by a summation of voltages from the input dendrites, na and K ions are caused to switch places at one small area of the beginning of the axon which accomplishes a small voltage there. That voltage causes the same thing to happen just next to that site and so on down the length of the axon. As this impulse travels along the axon, the previous switching reverses back to the normal state ready for another impulse to fire. This is similar to a line of dominos knocking each next one down, except that each one stands back up after knocking the next one down. That's approximetely how a nerve cell works to send impulses. But if your question is something like do I need to take potassium supplements then that's something you would have to ask a doctor.
Which part of neuron release or send chemical messengers?
The part of the neuron where neurotransmitters are released from is the axon terminal, and they are released into a small space between neurons called the Synapse.
What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
What are the chemicals that are released at an axon terminal and can either excite or inhibit other neurons called?
These are called neurotransmitters.
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 does not belong axon terminal synaptic knob bouton axon collateral?
axon collateral
Is the Axon terminal the same as the terminal buttons?
yes
What is an axon-terminal?
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
What is terminal branch of axon?
dendrite
What are the 4 parts of neuron?
axon terminal myeline sheathdendritesneruo transmitters
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
What does the letter Represent on this diagram?
axon terminal
