Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Terminal Buttons of a neuron are the small knobs at the end of an axon that release chemicals called neurotransmitters. The terminal buttons form the Presynaptic Neuron of the synapse.
Detailed explanation-3: -The axon is another major extension of the cell body; axons are often covered by a myelin sheath, which increases the speed of transmission of neural impulses. At the end of the axon are terminal buttons that contain synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters.
Detailed explanation-4: -When a nerve impulse has triggered the release of these neurotransmitters from the terminal buttons, these chemicals are then released into the synaptic cleft and are then taken up by receptors on the next cell. The neuron that then receives the neurotransmitters is the postsynaptic neuron.
Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. Terminal bouton is the specialized presynaptic terminal at the end of an axon. Terminal boutons contain necessary organelles, proteins and molecules needed to transmit chemical/electrical information to the postsynaptic cell.
