Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct term for the tiny packets that contain neurotransmitters in the presynaptic neuron is vesicles. Option B, bags, and Option C, sacs, are not accurate terms for this structure. Option D, terminals, may refer to the presynaptic terminal, which is the end of the axon that releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, but it does not specifically refer to the vesicles containing the neurotransmitters.
