Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synapse is the site where neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron and received by the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for intercellular communication between neurons. The telodendria are the fine extensions of the axon that terminate in the synaptic knobs, which contain the neurotransmitters. Collaterals refer to branches of an axon, and the hillock is the region where the axon originates from the cell body.
