The transmitting region of a motor neuron is:

Correct answer: D. Axon ending

  • A. Dendrite
  • B. Soma
  • C. Neurolemma
  • D. Axon ending

Explanation

The axon ending, also known as the axon terminal or synaptic terminal, is the terminal part of the axon of a neuron. It is responsible for transmitting signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Axon endings contain synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft, where they can bind to receptors on the membrane of the target cell, thus transmitting the signal from the neuron to the target.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
