An insulating layer that surrounds the axon is a myelin sheath.
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
The Axon Hillcock is the site where EPSPs AND IPSPs are integrated in the neuron.
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.
The junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron is called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons.
Axon
True. The axon of a neuron is often surrounded by a fatty covering known as the myelin sheath, which insulates the axon and enhances the speed of electrical signal transmission along the nerve cell. This myelination is crucial for efficient communication between neurons and is produced by glial cells.
Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around the axon of a neuron, acting as an insulator that speeds up the transmission of electrical signals. By insulating the axon, myelin helps the signals propagate more efficiently and quickly along the neuron.

An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.

A neuron can have at most one axon. However, an axon can branch - sometimes many times.
