A chemical that an axon end secretes into a synapse
A
Neurotransmitter
B
Synaptic Cleft
C
Neuron
D
Axon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This neuron has telodendrons which are knob-like structures at the axonic end. These telodendrons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is received by the receptors located on the dendrites of another neuron that results in the transmission of impulses.

Detailed explanation-2: -At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.
