Axon terminals are the end - points of axons. They release neurotransmitters to relay signals from the neuron to other cells like muscle cells, gland cells or other neurons. Axons transmit signals away from the cell body, the myelin sheath insulates the axon for faster signal transmission, and the cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles and is mainly involved in the neuron's metabolic functions.
