the bulb on the end of an axon
Calcium (Ca2+) channels open on the synaptic end bulb in response to depolarization (from the action potential), inducing exocytosis of synaptosomes containing neurotransmitter, resulting in neurotransmitter being released into the synaptic cleft...further propagating the signal to the next neuron or set of neurons.
Axon is branch of neuron that conducts impulse , axonal terminal and synaptic knob are same , it is bulb like and makes a synapse .
Neurotransmiter, which may be Acetylcholine etc
Acethylcholine
Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.

The nerve signal arrives at a synaptic knob and causes calcium channels to open. This allows the calcium ions to enter the synaptic knob. Calcium ions entry into the synaptic knob triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, which release acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft.

The tiny sacs in the synaptic knob are known as synaptic vessels. The synaptic vessels release chemicals into the bloodstream with each synapse.
