The branching fibers of the axon end in axon terminals and link with parts of other neurons?
The axon terminals of one neuron links with dendrites of the neighboring neuron.
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles called the?
The neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles within the axon terminals.
Synaptic vesicles are found in what?
Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.
Neurotransmitters are released from vesicles located in knob-like terminals on the?
Axon
What are small distal branches of an axon?
No, those are dendrites. Axons are a singular long branch that comes off a cell body.
What is the term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals?
axon terminals
What separates axon terminals?
The fluid filled space that separates axon terminals are called what
The branching fibers of the axon end in axon terminals and link with parts of other neurons?
The axon terminals of one neuron links with dendrites of the neighboring neuron.
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles called the?
The neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles within the axon terminals.
What portion of a neuron should be called its secretory component?
Axon/Axon terminals
What structure releases neurotransmitters?
The axon terminals
How does an axon release neurostransmitter?
An axon sends signal from dendrites to terminals to release neurotransmitters
What is dendrites function?
Assuming that the question is What is the function of the dendrites? The answer is: Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.
Synaptic vesicles are found in what?
Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.
What do axon terminals attach with to make a synapse?
Dendrites.
As a general rule communication within a neuron progresses from?
the dendrites to the axon to the axon terminals and then to the cell body.
Why is calcium important to neurons?
Once you have the action potential made from the influx of Na traveling down the axon depolarizing it. The action potential reaches the axon terminals, the depolarization causes Ca2+ to enter the cell and that causes the release of the neurotransmitters out of the axon terminals and into the dendrites of the next axon to continue the signaling pathway.
