It starts the transmission of a neural signal from one neuron to another.
An axon ends in an axon terminal, which ends in a small rounded tip called the axon bulb. Each terminal lies very close to either a dendrite or a cell body of another neuron, and the combination of the end of the first neuron, the beginning of the next, and the space between them is known as a synapse; when a neural impulse reaches the axon bulb, it is stimulated to release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (gap), which diffuse over to the second neuron, conveying the signal to the second neuron.

Is and axon bulb and an axon hillock the same thing?
axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *

the bulb on the end of an axon
What is the difference between the axon and axonal terminal and synaptic knob?
Axon is branch of neuron that conducts impulse , axonal terminal and synaptic knob are same , it is bulb like and makes a synapse .
