Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptic vesicles are small sacs within the presynaptic terminal of a neuron that contain neurotransmitters. When a neural impulse (action potential) reaches the presynaptic terminal, these vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release their neurotransmitter contents into the synaptic cleft, facilitating communication between neurons.
