Now, the exxon terminal is also known as the synaptic terminal or the synaptic bouton. And the axon terminal consists of projections at the end of our exxon that basically are specialized to transmit our electrical signals to other cells either by electrical or chemical means. Now, if we actually zoom in on any one of these projections we get the following bulb like structure. So at the end of each projection is a bulb shaped structure that can basically release neurotransmitters. So we can release these chemicals known as neurotransmitters, that can go on and bond to receptors on the post synaptic cell as shown in the diagram. And that can basically generate an electrical signal in the post synaptic cell.
