Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the terminal bouton of pre-synaptic axons. They are released from the terminal bouton into the synaptic cleft and the neurotransmitters exert their action on the post-synaptic neurons.

Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles called the?
The neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles within the axon terminals.
Which area would contain an abundance of vesicles containing neurotransmitter?
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles within axonal terminals for release into the synaptic cleft.
What neurotransmitter might the parietal lobe use and why?
The neurotransmitter used by the parietal lobe is acetylcholine.
Anagonist defininition in human anatomy?
A mimic of a neurotransmitter. Not the exact neurotransmitter, but works in the same way.
Which of these is the neurotransmitter associated with laughter?
Endorphins : "Humor involves the brain's reward system, which mainly uses dopamine as its neurotransmitter."
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles called the?
The neurotransmitter is stored in synaptic vesicles within the axon terminals.
What is the functions of neurotransmitter?
The neurotransmitters are stored in tiny sac-like structures called vesicles at the end of axons. When an impulse, or nerve signal, reaches the end of the axon, the vesicles release a neurotransmitter into the small space between the adjoining cells (synaptic gap). Neurotransmitters diffuse across the synapse and bind to receptors in the receiving cell that are specific for the neurotransmitter.
Which area would contain an abundance of vesicles containing neurotransmitter?
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles within axonal terminals for release into the synaptic cleft.
What is the medical term meaning neurotransmitter?
neurotransmitter
What are the criteria for a substance in a neurotransmitter at a synapse?
Criteria required identifying a substance as a neurotransmitter 1- ) Synthesis of the substance: • It is synthesized in the neuron • Some substances are synthesized from the Tryptophan • Rate limiting step in its synthesis • Enzymes required in the synthesis of that substance are themselves synthesized in the cell body of neuron ,then distributed throughout the neuron • Mainly found in the cell body and nerve terminal • These enzymes are stored in the presynaptic terminal of neuron, inside the synaptic vesicles. 2- ) Storage of that substance: • The neutransmitter is stored inside the synaptic vesicle of nerve terminal 3- ) Release of the neurotransmitter: • It is released from the nerve terminal usually through Ca++ dependent process following the stimulation of the nerve fiber by action potential. • Fusion of the synaptic vesicle with the nerve membrane releasing neurotransmitter outside the nerve fiber into the synaptic cleft. 4- ) Exogenous analogue (drug) of the neurotransmitter: • If drug analogue of the neurotransmitter is injected exogenously, it should mimic the same mechanism of action as done by the endogenously released neurotransmitter.

What neurotransmitter functions as a common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain?

Is GABA a hormone?
GABA is a neurotransmitter, it is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of the nervous system
What is the substance released at axon terminals?
The substance that is released at an axonal ending to propagate the nerve impulse to the next nerve or muscle is called
