The saclike structures found inside the synaptic knob containing chemicals are called__________

A) axon terminals.
B) synapses.
C) synaptic vesicles.
D) receptor sites.

Saclike Structures

Biological pouches in organisms that serve various functions such as storage, digestion, or transport of substances.

Synaptic Knob

The small, bulbous structure at the end of a neuron's axon that releases neurotransmitters to transmit signals to another neuron.

Synaptic Vesicles

Membrane-bound sacs within a neuron that contain neurotransmitters, which are released into the synaptic cleft to transmit signals to other neurons.

  • Determine the architecture and purpose of synaptic components, such as synaptic vesicles, intersynaptic spaces, and neurotransmitter activity.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Synaptic vesicles are the saclike structures that are found inside the synaptic knob containing chemicals called neurotransmitters. Axon terminals are the tip of the axon, where the electrical signal is converted to a chemical signal. Synapses refer to the junction between two neurons where they communicate. Receptor sites are the specific locations on the membrane of the receiving cell where neurotransmitters bind.
