clustered close to the cell membrane at the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron. However, some neurotransmitters, like the metabolic gases carbon monoxide and nitric oxide, are synthesized and released immediately following an action potential without ever being stored in vesicles.

Release

Generally, a neurotransmitter is released via exocytosis at the presynaptic terminal in response to an electrical signal called
