Within the axonal endings are many small vesicles containing a neurotransmitter substance called ____
A
acetylcholine
B
isotonic contraction
C
fatigue
D
isometric contraction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synaptic vesicles (SVs) are small, electron-lucent vesicles that are clustered at presynaptic terminals. They store neurotransmitters and release them by calcium-triggered exocytosis. SVs are made locally at the terminals and are regenerated after exocytosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cholinergic neurons release ACh from axon terminals. ACh is synthesized from choline, which is transported into neurons.
