Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane, exocytosis occurs, which is the release of the neurotransmitter into the synapse. Endocytosis is the opposite process, where the cell membrane invaginates to form a vesicle and bring in molecules from the extracellular environment. Synaptic transmission refers to the overall process of communication between neurons, which includes the release, binding, and effects of neurotransmitters. Transport may refer to the movement of vesicles or molecules within the neuron, but it is not a specific process related to the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse.
