What is the structure at the end of an axon that produces neurotransmitters?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
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.

When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the axon the tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters move to the surface and release the neurotranmistters These tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters?
sacs are Synaptic vesicle.
What does an axon release when an impulse reaches the end of it?
Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.
What do axon terminals do?
in a nerve cell the axon terminals send signals or messages to other cells
Motor end plate is?
Motor end plate of a cell is the dendritic portion that have cholinergic receptors to receive neurotransmitters in order to propagate an action potential.
Which structure in the neuron receives information from another nerve cell?
Its the synaptic cleft found at the end of the axon terminal.
Neurotransmitters are released from what end of an axon?
synaptic vesicles
When the action potential gets to the end of the axon?
When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).
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 *
When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the axon the tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters move to the surface and release the neurotranmistters These tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters?
sacs are Synaptic vesicle.
When are neurotransmitters released?
Neurotransmitters are released when an action potential reaches the axon terminal of a neuron, causing vesicles containing neurotransmitters to fuse with the cell membrane and release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. This release allows neurotransmitters to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, propagating the signal to continue communication between neurons.
What does an axon release when an impulse reaches the end of it?
Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.
Why is the chemical synapses be release when a neural impulse reaches the end of an axon?
Neurotransmitters are released in order to transmit the message from the axon terminal to the other neuron by having said synapse "jump" to the neighboring dendrite.
How does a signal cross from the axon of the neuron to the receiving cell?
When the electrical signal reaches the end of an axon, neurotransmitters are released. They travel across the synapse. Once they reach the receiving cell, they create a new electrical signal.
How does a signal crosses from the axon of a neuron to a receiving cell?
When the electrical signal reaches the end of an axon, neurotransmitters are released. They travel acrross the synapse. Once they reach the receiving cell, they create a new electrical signal.
What is the result of sodium ions moving across the axons membrane during an action potential?
a neural impulse(electrical impulse) is released and it travels down the axon of a neuron to the axon terminals. At the axon terminal there are sacs called synaptic vesicles which contain chemicals called neurotransmitters. When the neural impulse reaches the terminal it causes the sacs to move closer to the membrane of the axon terminal and release the neurotransmitters inside. Then neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic gap and stimulate the dendrites of another neuron and the whole process starts again.
What part of nervous system transmit message?
Impulses in the cell body (soma) of a neuron and move on along its axon, which conducts the impulse to a synapse at the end of the axon. There neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, so that the impulse can stop or go on to the next neuron or a gland/motor end plate, depending on the kind of neurotransmitter. Different types of neurotransmitters are: acetylcholine, adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonine.
What is the term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals?
The term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals is "synaptic end bulbs" or "synaptic boutons". These structures contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synapse to communicate with the next neuron.
