Question
what is synthesized in the cytoplasm of the synaptic knob and stored in synaptic vesicles?
oostsynaptic membrane receptors
sodium ions
calcium ions
neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the synaptic knob and stored in synaptic vesicles. Postsynaptic membrane receptors are located on the postsynaptic membrane, not synthesized and stored in the synaptic knob's vesicles. Sodium ions and calcium ions are ions that play roles in the synaptic process (e.g., calcium ions trigger neurotransmitter release, sodium ions are involved in action potential propagation in the postsynaptic cell), but they are not synthesized in the synaptic knob cytoplasm and stored in vesicles like neurotransmitters.
