Question: identify the part of a neuron that releases neurotransmitter
Answer: Neurotransmission ( Latin : transmissio `` passage , crossing '' from transmittere `` send , let through '' ) , also called synaptic transmission , is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal of a neuron ( the presynaptic neuron ) , and bind to and activate the receptors on the dendrites of another neuron ( the postsynaptic neuron ) .
