AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -At the end of an axon, there is a so-called axon terminal that is button-like and is responsible for providing synapses between neurons. The axon terminal contains specialized chemicals called neurotransmitters that are initially contained inside the synaptic vesicles . In humans, the axon can be over a foot long.

Detailed explanation-2: -Axon terminals (also called synaptic boutons, terminal boutons, or end-feet) are distal terminations of the telodendria (branches) of an axon.

Detailed explanation-3: -The terminal buttons are located at the end of the neuron and are responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons. At the end of the terminal button is a gap known as a synapse. Neurotransmitters are used to carry the signal across the synapse to other neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each terminal holds a synapse where neurotransmitters send their messages and where messages are received. Simply put, axons allow nerve cells to send electrical and chemical messages to other nerve, gland, and muscle cells using this internal communication process.
