Axon terminals

Cards (7)

  • Found at the end of a axon
  • They transmit signals to other neurons
  • At The end of the terminal button is a gap known as the synapse
  • Terminal buttons holds vessels containing neurotransmitters
  • Neurotransmitters are released from the terminal button into the synapse and carry signals across to other neurons
  • Electrical signals convert to chemical signals during this process
  • The terminal buttons reuptake excess neurotransmitters that didn’t get passed onto The next neuron
