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 the following sentence true or false a neuron can have only one axon?

True. A neuron typically has only one axon, which is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. However, a single axon can branch into multiple terminals, allowing it to communicate with multiple target cells.


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 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?

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.
