Best Answer

Synapses are located throughout the nervous system. A synapse is a sort of 'relay station' where a message, in the form a a chemical neurotransmitter, is passed on between one neuron (nerve fibre) & the next, or between a neuron & the muscle or gland the message is aimed at.

Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminal of a motor neuron contain what neurotransmitter?

Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters to be released into the synapses. In the case of most motoneurons, this neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (ACh). The neurons that interface with the sympathetic nervous system, also technically motoneurons, release norepinephrine.
