c) neuromuscular junction, d) synaptic cleft.
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter found in the synaptic vesicles of cholinergic neurons in the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. It is released from presynaptic nerve terminals and acts on postsynaptic receptors at the neuromuscular junctions and in various regions of the brain to carry out its physiological functions.
The transport mechanism for a neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft is called exocytosis. During exocytosis, neurotransmitter-filled vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane, releasing the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft where it can then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
Synaptic vesicles within the presynaptic terminals of neurons are the main structures that store acetylcholine in the central nervous system. Additionally, vesicles in cholinergic nerve terminals at neuromuscular junctions also store acetylcholine.
Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles that generate energy in the form of ATP for the cell. Synaptic vesicles are small vesicles in nerve terminals that store and release neurotransmitters, allowing for communication between neurons at synapses.
Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminals of neurons contain acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is released from these vesicles into the synaptic cleft to transmit signals to target cells or other neurons.

Synaptic vesicles in the neuromuscular junction contain Acetylcholine. The scattered vesicles in various stages of development and healing suggested the diagnosis of varicella.

The transport mechanism for a neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft is called exocytosis. During exocytosis, neurotransmitter-filled vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane, releasing the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft where it can then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
Synaptic terminals at the axon terminals of neurons would contain an abundance of vesicles containing neurotransmitters. These vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to facilitate communication between neurons.
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles called the presynaptic terminal. These vesicles are located at the end of the axon terminal of a neuron and release neurotransmitters into the synapse to facilitate communication with other neurons.
Synaptic vesicles within the presynaptic terminals of neurons are the main structures that store acetylcholine in the central nervous system. Additionally, vesicles in cholinergic nerve terminals at neuromuscular junctions also store acetylcholine.
Neurotransmitters are released from the nerve terminals by a specialized exocytosis process, synaptic vesicles. These are small nearly uniform capsules that join with the cell membrane to expel their contents. Release is both quantal (set amount) and mediated by calcium.
Calcium ions trigger the release of neurotransmitter at the presynaptic membrane. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, it causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open, allowing calcium ions to enter the cell. The influx of calcium ions triggers the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, leading to the release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
