What is at the end of an axon terminal branch?
At the end of an axon terminal branch, you will find structures called synaptic boutons or synaptic terminals. These structures contain neurotransmitter vesicles that store and release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the next neuron or target cell.
What does the long branch of a nerve cell do?
The long branch of a nerve cell is called an axon. It transmits electrical signals away from the cell body to communicate with other neurons or muscles. The axon is covered in myelin, which helps to speed up signal transmission.
How many axons does each neuron have?
Most neurons have one axon, which can branch into multiple axon terminals to communicate with other neurons. However, there are some exceptions where neurons have more than one axon, such as in certain neurons within the peripheral nervous system.
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 is the 3 main parts of nerve cells?
The three basic parts of a nerve cell are the dendrites, cell body, and axon. The dendrites branch to reach other cells. The cell body contains the nucleus which controls the cell. The axon is long and provides "reach" for the cell.
What is terminal branch of axon?
dendrite
Where is the axon tip?
the axon goes on the little branch that looks like a bone. ~shealia~
What is the highest number of axons a neuron can have?
A neuron can have at most one axon. However, an axon can branch - sometimes many times.
What are the branches that occur along the length of an axon?
Collaterals are branches that sometimes occur along the length of an axon. Parasympathetic branch is the branch of the autonomic nervous system causes increased secretion by digestive glands.
What is the longest branch of a nerve cell that relays messages to other neurons?
axon
Branches that sometimes occur along the length of an axon are called what?
Collaterals are branches that sometimes occur along the length of an axon. Parasympathetic branch is the branch of the autonomic nervous system causes increased secretion by digestive glands.
The single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cell body is called the?
axon-kenyonthanks ya kenyon-lexi
Where do axon collaterals emerge on a myelinated nerve?
Axon collaterals emerge from the main axon at regular intervals called Nodes of Ranvier on a myelinated nerve. These points are where the myelin sheath is interrupted, allowing axon collaterals to branch off and communicate with other neurons or muscle fibers.
What are small distal branches of an axon?
Small distal branches of an axon are called axon terminals or synaptic terminals. These structures are specialized endings of the axon that release neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons or muscle cells. The axon terminals facilitate the transmission of signals between neurons at synapses.

What is the single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cell body is the what?
not the axon
