In the nervous system, neurotransmitters are stored in the neuron's dendrites.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement asserts that neurotransmitters are stored in the neuron's dendrites.
In reality, neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located in the axon terminal (the presynaptic bouton) of a neuron. When an action potential arrives at the axon terminal, these vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the postsynaptic cell.
Dendrites, on the other hand, are primarily involved in receiving signals from other neurons. They contain receptors that detect neurotransmitters released into the synapse, but they do not store neurotransmitters in vesicles.
Common misconceptions often mix up the roles of dendrites and axon terminals. Remember: storage and release of neurotransmitters occur at the presynaptic axon terminal, while reception of signals happens at the postsynaptic side, typically on dendrites or the cell body of the next neuron.
