Axon endings

They're also called nerve terminals or synaptic terminals. They contain synaptic vesicles which in turn contain neurotransmitters, molecules that transmit a message from neuron to neuron. Axon terminals also contain the machinery necessary to produce, store, and release neurotransmitters.
