The terminal button, also known as the synaptic knob, is a small bulge at the end of an axon that stores and releases neurotransmitters. It forms junctions with other neurons, allowing for communication between them.
The tiny gap between two neurons where communication occurs through chemical signaling.
Specialized chemicals released by terminal buttons that transmit signals across synapses.
The process by which neurotransmitters are reabsorbed into the presynaptic neuron after transmission.
