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.

What type of ion channel opens on the synaptic end bulb in response to depolarisation?

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.


Where is the synaptic bulb found?

The synaptic bulb is found at the end of axon terminals in neurons. It is the structure responsible for releasing neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons or target cells at a synapse.

A cracked primer bulb. You will need to replace it.


What are causes for water inside of light bulbs?

Water inside light bulbs is typically due to poor sealing or manufacturing defects that allow moisture to enter the bulb. Changes in temperature can also cause condensation to form inside the bulb. In rare cases, it could be caused by a crack or break in the bulb itself.


What is the difference between the axon and axonal terminal and synaptic knob?

The axon is a long, slender projection that carries electrical impulses away from the cell body. The axonal terminal, or synaptic knob, is the end of the axon that forms a synapse with another neuron or target cell. The synaptic knob contains neurotransmitter vesicles that are released into the synapse to communicate with the next cell.

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.


Name the neuromuscular transmitter that is released at the axon bulb?

The neurotransmitter released at the axon bulb is acetylcholine.
