Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals across the synapse between neurons. Hormones are typically released from endocrine cells and travel through the bloodstream to their target cells. Ions may be involved in the release and uptake of neurotransmitters, but they are not typically found inside synaptic vesicles. Receptors are proteins on the surface of cells that bind to specific molecules, but they are not typically found inside synaptic vesicles.
