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: -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. Another term used for the presynaptic terminal button is end bulb.
Detailed explanation-3: -Axon terminals transmit chemicals from one neuron to another. They are positioned at the opposite end of the neuron to the dendrites.
