The ion which is entering axon terminal A is called Ca²⁺.
The effect which it has is, it causes the release of neurotransmitter from the axon terminal.

Axon terminal is termed as distal termination of telodendria of an axon. Another name for the axon terminal is synaptic boutons. Axon is a long, slender projection which is of a nerve cell. 
Their work is to conduct electrical impulses which are referred to as action potential which is a way of neurons of the cell body. Neurons use electrochemical signals and also a neurotransmitter chemical which transmits impulses from one neuron to another.
Axon terminals are being separated from neighboring neurons by a gap known as a synapse. Both the axon terminal and neuron they come from a point which is called the presynaptic neuron.

Let me try to explain this. The ion entering this axon terminal at A is the sodium ion better known as Na+. This ion causes an effect called repolarization of the axon terminals which is an electrical activity which cause muscular activity

____________ is the process by which inhibitory transmitters cause the inside of the neuron to become more negative.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At the synapse, neurotransmitters bind to neurotransmitter receptors in the postsynaptic neuron’s plasma membrane. This results in the opening of the ions channels and the flow of specific ions to change the voltage across the membrane. An inhibitory neurotransmitter inhibits the firing of the action potential by making the inside of the membrane more negative. It is called hyperpolarization (inhibition).

It may occur when the neurotransmitter opens the Cl– or K+ channels to allow the movement of chloride ions into the cell while permitting the outward movement of potassium ions to make the inside of the cell more negative.
