### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Synapse**: - A synapse is a junction between two neurons where the transmission of nerve impulses occurs. It consists of the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another, separated by a small gap known as the synaptic cleft. 2. **Structure of the Axon Terminal**: - At the axon terminal, there are synaptic vesicles that contain neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are essential for transmitting signals between neurons. ...
