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 *
What carries impulses away from the cell body?
The axon carries information from one neuron to another while the dendrites of a neuron receive information from other neurons
What is the term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals?
