Neurons First Test Extra

Question 1

telodendria

Answer 1

branch of a neuronal axon[2] that can further branch into axon terminals.[3] While each neuron only has one axon, it can branch into several telodendria and form presynaptic vesicles for neurotransmission at each branch

Question 2

terminal branches

Answer 2

same as terminal buttons

Question 3

neurilemma

Answer 3

An outer covering of flattened cells that surrounds the MYELIN sheath of the nerve fibres (axons) of the larger peripheral nerves

Question 4

causes unknown but due to multiple factors

Question 8
