22 Μαΐ 2020 · The axon terminal, also known as the synaptic bouton and terminal bouton, is the most distal portion of a neuron’s axon and is critical for neural communication. When action potentials reach the axon terminal, calcium floods the neuron, allowing synaptic vesicles to fuse with the membrane and release stored neurotransmitters to target cells.
the somewhat enlarged, often club-shaped endings by which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells (muscle or gland cells). Axon terminals contain neurotransmitters of various kinds, sometimes more than one.
A specialized structure at the tip of the axon of the presynaptic neuron, termed the axon terminal, contains small packets known as vesicles, which are filled with neurotransmitter molecules.
29 Μαΐ 2023 · An axon terminal is any of the button-like endings of axons through which axons make synaptic contacts with other nerve cells or with effector cells. At the axon terminal, synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitters are docked.
Functionally, the axon terminal converts an electrical signal into a chemical signal. When an action potential arrives at an axon terminal (A), the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses across the synaptic cleft.
12 Αυγ 2022 · The axon terminal is the "end-part" of the axon, which lies adjacent to a synapse, the gap between two consecutive neurons. Axon terminals play a fundamental role in facilitating intercellular communication through neurotransmitters.
14 Νοε 2022 · Axons are the elongated portion of the neuron located in the center of the cell between the soma and axon terminals. In size, the axon may represent over 95% of the total volume of the neuron. Functionally, it carries electrical impulses and projects to synapses with dendrites or cell bodies of other neurons or with non-neuronal targets such as ...
