D) Vesicle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synthesis of large neurotransmitter molecules typically occurs in the soma (cell body) of the neuron, where the necessary enzymes and amino acids are present for the synthesis process. Once synthesized, the neurotransmitter molecules are transported down the axon to the axon terminal where they are stored in vesicles until release.
