What are the elements of a unijunction transistor?

A unijunction transistor has three terminals: an emitter and two bases. The emitter injects current into the base region to trigger conduction between the emitter and the bases, and there is no gate terminal. Therefore the correct elements are Base 1, Base 2, and Emitter. This setup distinguishes it from devices with a gate, or from a standard transistor that has base, collector, and emitter.
