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 .
What is Terminal button?
Small bulb like structures at the end of an Axon are called Terminals or Terminal Buttons.
What is the terminal button?
Small bulb like structures at the end of an Axon are called Terminals or Terminal Buttons.
What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
Axosomatic
What are the functions of the axon terminal button?
The terminal buttons are located at the end of the neuron and are responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons. At the end of the terminal button is a gap known as asynapse. Neurotransmitters are used to carry the signal across the synapse to other neurons.
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
How is the structure of a neuron related to its functions?
The function of a neuron is to convey or process signals.The structure of a neuron allows these functions to occur.The relevant components of a neuron comprising its structure are:dendrites (inputs), soma(cell body), axon hillock (signal strength assessing trigger point), axon (output), axon terminal branches, and axon terminal buttons.Neurons receive signals, either from other neurons, or from receptor cells; they either simply convey the signal along the axon, or evaluate its strength and send it along the axon if the input is strong enough.The structure of the neuron allows this function to happen in the following way: the dendrites receive chemical messengers through a synapse from an axon terminal button, which opens pores in the dendrite which allow sodium ions in, creating an electric voltage; this voltage propagates down the dendrite and over the somato the axon hillock, where, if it is greater than a triggering value, it can cause the axon to fire an action potential along its length; when the action potential reaches an axon terminal button, it causes calcium ion pores to open in the button, which causes small bags of neurotransmitter chemicals to merge with the membrane of the terminal button, releasing the neurotransmitter chemicals into the synaptic cleft (gap), where they diffuse over to a dendrite.

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.
