Which of the following nervous system components is incorrectly paired with its function?
a) axon hillock - region of neuron where an action potential originates. b) schwann cells - produce a myelin sheath around axon in the pns. c) synapse - space between presynaptic and postsynaptic cells into which neurotransmitter is released. d) synaptic terminal - receptor that is part of an ion channel that is keyed to a specific neurotransmitter. e) dendrite - receives signals from other neurons.

The correct answer is - option D.

Explanation:

In the provided matching of the nervous system parts and their functions the incorrect match is the option D which is synaptic terminal as given functions is not the function of synaptic terminal.

Synaptic terminal or the synaptic buoton is a specialized region present in the axon of the presynaptic cell. Synaptic terminal contains the synaptic vesicles that contain neurotransmitters with other organelles. The function of the synaptical terminal is to release the neurotransmitter to bind to post terminal synaptic cells.

Thus, the correct answer is - option D.

D.

Explanation:

Synaptic terminal - receptor that is part of an ion channel that is keyed to a specific neurotransmitter.
