C) at the end of dendrites.
D) at the end of axons.
Terminal Buttons
Small knobs at the end of an axon that release chemicals called neurotransmitters into the synapse.
Synaptic Cleft
The small gap at a synapse between neurons, through which neurotransmitters are released and received.
Dendrites
Branch-like extensions of neurons that receive electrochemical messages from other neurons, crucial for the transmission of neural signals.
