Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Neuron:** - A neuron is made up of several parts: dendrites, cell body (soma), axon, and axon terminals. 2. **Identifying the Axon Terminals:** - The axon is the long fiber that transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body. At the end of the axon, it branches out into several endings known as axon terminals. 3. **Recognizing the Bulb-like Structures:** - The axon terminals end in structures that are bulb-like in shape. These structures are known as synaptic knobs or synaptic terminals. 4. **Function of Synaptic Knobs:** - Synaptic knobs play a crucial role in the transmission of nerve impulses. They release neurotransmitters that facilitate communication between neurons. 5. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the bulb-like structure where the branch of a nerve fiber terminates is called the **synaptic knob**. ---
