What do Axon Terminals do?
A
Intakes information from other neurons
B
Produces fatty tissue for the Myelin Sheath
C
Sends information to the next cell
D
Controls the speed of electrical signal through the axon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The axon terminal is important in cell to cell communication through the neurotransmitters it releases into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters that exit the neuron relay signals to the next target cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles. A protective covering called the myelin sheath, covers most neurons. Myelin insulates the axon and helps nerve signals travel faster and farther.
