Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synapse is the site of intercellular communication between neurons, where the axon of one neuron comes into close proximity with the dendrite or cell body of another neuron. The synaptic knob (also known as the terminal button) is located at the end of the axon and releases neurotransmitters, which act on receptors on the dendrites or cell body of the receiving neuron. The other options (telodendria, collateral branch, hillock) are all parts of the neuron but are not specifically involved in intercellular communication.
