Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The terminal bouton, also known as the axon terminal or synaptic knob, is responsible for releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. The axon carries the electrical impulse, but it is the terminal bouton that communicates with other neurons or muscles. The myelin sheath is a fatty insulation layer that covers some axons to increase the speed of the electrical impulse, and the cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles necessary for the neuron's survival and function, but neither of them release neurotransmitters.
