Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Upon stimulation of a nerve, neurotransmitters are released from the synaptic bouton (also known as the presynaptic terminal or axon terminal) into the synaptic cleft, which is the gap between the synaptic bouton and the target cell (usually another neuron or a muscle cell). The neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the target cell, leading to a response or signal transmission.
