No. They are located at the ends of axons, but not the dendrites.
Please refer to the related links below to see an illustration.
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the terminals of presynaptic neurons. When an action potential reaches the terminal, these vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to facilitate communication between neurons.
Nerve tissues contain specialized cells called neurons, which have various organelles including a cell body with a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and synaptic vesicles. Neurons also have unique structures like dendrites and axons that help in transmitting electrical signals.
The profuse branches at the end of axons are called axon terminals or synaptic terminals. These structures contain neurotransmitters that are released to communicate with other neurons or target cells at synapses.
Axons and dendrites are both extensions of a neuron. They are involved in transmitting electrical signals within the nervous system. Axons carry signals away from the cell body, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons.
end of axons in the synapse.
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
The synaptic knob contains vesicles filled with neurotransmitters. Therefore, Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that stimulates skeletal muscle to contract. It is released into the synaptic clefts between motor neuron axons and motor end plates.
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the terminals of presynaptic neurons. When an action potential reaches the terminal, these vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to facilitate communication between neurons.
Synapses occur at synaptic cleft (or also called as "synaptic gap"). The location of "synaptic cleft" depends on the types of synapses:axo-dendritic synapse : between axons and dendritesaxo-somatic synapse : between axons and cell bodiesaxo-axonic synapse : between axons and axonsdendro-denritic syanpse : between dendrites and dendrites
Axons are the output element of a neuron, and dendrites are the input elements of a neuron.
Synapses, dendrites, dendritic spines (bumps on dendrites where synapses are often found), dendritic arbors (tree-like projections of dendrites), somas (body of neuron), axon hillocks (where a summation of input impulses may initiate an action potential or spike), axons, myelin sheaths (on myelinated axons), and axon terminals (containing vesicles of neurotransmitters).
The ones carrying the input are the dendrites, the ones carrying the output are the axons.
Axons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the neuron cell body. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive incoming signals from axons of other neurons. Together, axons and dendrites play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the nervous system.
