At the distal end, and axon usually has a terminal arborization(Telodendria)- and extensive complex of fine branches. Each branch ends in a synaptic knob(Terminal button), a little swelling that forms a junction (synapse) with the next cell. It contains synaptic vesicles full of neurotransmitters.

Any of the terminal or smaller branches of an axon that terminates with specialized ending that releases neurotransmitters.

The main function of the telodendria is to store vesicles that contain neurotransmitters. It then releases the neurotransmitters so neurons can communicate with one another.

What is the extensions on the distal end of a neuron called?

The distal end of a neuron is the axon, an extension that arises from the soma (cell body), and at the distal end of an axon there are extensions called telodendria. At the distal ends of telodendria are knoblike structures called synaptic end bulbs (sometimes called synaptic knobs). Synaptic end bulbs have synaptic vesicles inside them that contain neurotransmitters. Synaptic vesicles are released by exocytosis into the synaptic cleft for diffusion. I can't tell from the way your question is worded if you're asking about axons, telodenria or synaptic end bulbs because all of these structures are at the distal end of a neuron. Determine what the function of the "extensions" is and use whichever part of my answer applies.


What is the structure at the end of an axon that produces neurotransmitters?

The axon is a single process extending from the axon hillock, sometimes covered by a fatty layer called a myelin sheath that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body of the neuron.Distal tips of axons are telodendria, each of which terminates in a synaptic knob.
