Preferred Term:

vesículas sinápticas

Definition:
Compartimentos limitados por membranas que contienen moléculas transmisoras. Están concentrados en las terminales presinápticas y aíslan las moléculas transmisoras del citoplasma. En algunas sinapsis la liberación de transmisores tiene lugar por medio de la fusión de estas vesículas con la membrana presináptica, seguida por la exocitosis de sus contenidos.
