A
Neurotransmitters
B
Dendrites
C
Synaptic Vesicles
D
Axon Terminals
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of excitatory neurotransmitters include glutamate, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Inhibitory. Inhibitory neurotransmitters block or prevent the chemical message from being passed along any farther. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine and serotonin are examples of inhibitory neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurotransmitter – A chemical released from a neuron following an action potential. The neurotransmitter travels across the synapse to excite or inhibit the target neuron. Different types of neurons use different neurotransmitters and therefore have different effects on their targets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitters are synthesized by neurons and are stored in vesicles, which typically are located in the axon’s terminal end, also known as the presynaptic terminal.
