These are two types of synaptic connections found on a single neuron. Axoaxonic synapses regulate neurotransmitter release from another axon, while axodendritic synapses transmit signals directly to dendrites, influencing neuronal activity. Junctional folds are specialized structures in muscle cells at neuromuscular junctions. They increase surface area for acetylcholine receptors, enhancing the efficiency of nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
