Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons. These neurotransmitters are released from the synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron and initiate a response. Hormones are not typically found in synaptic vesicles, and ions and receptors may be present in the synaptic cleft, but not within the vesicles themselves.
