Question

Synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitters and are present in the
A) dendrites.
B) cell body.
C) axolemma.
D) presynaptic terminals.
E) trigger zone.

Accepted Answer

Synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitters are present in the presynaptic terminals, which are located at the end of the axon and are responsible for releasing the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with other neurons or target cells. The dendrites, cell body, and trigger zone do not typically contain significant amounts of synaptic vesicles. The axolemma refers to the membrane surrounding the axon, which can contain ion channels and pumps but not vesicles filled with neurotransmitters.
