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 *
What are found at the end of each axon?
Axon terminals, also called synaptic terminals or terminal boutons, are found at the end of each axon. These structures are responsible for transmitting signals to the dendrites of neighboring neurons or to a target cell. At the axon terminals, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft to facilitate communication between neurons.
What is the meaning of axon knob?
The axon knob, also known as the presynaptic terminal, is the end of the axon of a neuron that forms a synapse with another neuron or a muscle or gland cell. It stores and releases neurotransmitters to communicate signals to the target cell.
Neurotransmitters are released from what end of an axon?
synaptic vesicles
What part of the neuron conveys electrical impulses from its start to its end?
the axon

What is the end of a motor neuron called?
Axon terminal

What is the difference between the terminal button and the axon terminal?
The terminal button, also known as the synaptic knob, is a small structure at the end of an axon that releases neurotransmitters into the synapse during neuronal communication. The axon terminal refers to the broader region at the end of the axon that includes the terminal button and the surrounding structures involved in synaptic transmission. While both terms are often used interchangeably, the axon terminal encompasses the entire end section of the axon, whereas the terminal button specifically refers to the site of neurotransmitter release.
What are the small swellings at the end of a neuron called?
synaptic knobs (or axon terminals<--more commonly used name)
What is an axon termin?
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.
What is an axon-terminal?
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.

How far would an action potential propagated in an unmyelinated axon?
The impulse will go to the terminal end of the axon. Other wise the very purpose of the innervation will be defeated.
