Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axon terminals, also known as synaptic knobs, are the specialized structures on the end of the axon that communicate with target cells. They contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synapse (the small gap between the axon terminal and the target cell) and received by receptors on the target cell, allowing for communication between neurons or between neurons and other cells such as muscle cells.
