What is the end of an axon called?

This is known to be the terminal that is located at the end of the axon. There are known to be different proteins, molecules, and organelles that are part of this terminal so that proper information can be sent to the postsynaptic cell. The chemicals that these releases are called neurotransmitters.

Do take note that information that will be sent to the postsynaptic cell can be chemical or electrical. The terminal bouton will also be connected to another neuron that is available in the synapse. If there is something wrong with the terminal bouton or any other part of the neuron, information will not be sent properly.

1. terminal bouton-a ganglion is a collection of neuron cell bodies outside of the central nervous system. the cell body of a neuron is called a perikaryon or soma. an astrocyte is a supporting cell seen in the central nervous system.

the basophilic clusters of ribosomes and rough endoplasmic seen in neuron cell bodies is called nissl, nissl bodies or nissl substance. the terminal bouton is the end portion of an axon. it is also called an axon terminal or end bulb. the terminal bouton will be associated with another neuron in a synapse.
