Question

The neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine (ACh)are stored within the
A) tips of the dendrites.
B) cell body.
C) postsynaptic receptors.
D) axon terminals.

Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are stored within the axon terminals until they are released into the synapse to be transmitted to the next neuron. Choice A (tips of the dendrites) and B (cell body) are incorrect because they are not sites of neurotransmitter storage. Choice C (postsynaptic receptors) is incorrect because these are sites where neurotransmitters bind, not where they are stored.
