But in general, for each neurotransmitter that released it there would only be one population of receptors that's ready to receive it.

但总体说,每一种在此释放的神经递质,只能被一类受体接受

Then, there are antagonists that slow down the amount of neurotransmitters, either because they destroy neurotransmitters or they make it hard to create more.

另一种是抑制剂,抑制剂会抑制神经递质的释放量,有可能是通过破坏神经递质而实现,也可能是通过抑制神经递质的生成而实现

This process, which is shown schematically here, as a vesicle fusing with the cell membrane and then dropping its neurotransmitter only happens when an action potential reaches the end of the axon.

这一过程 扼要地展示在这里,小泡同细胞膜融合,释放其神经递质,这只发生在动作电位抵达轴突末梢时

And what an agonist does is increases the effect of neurotransmitters, either by making more neurotransmitters or stopping the cleanup of neurotransmitters, or in some cases by faking a neurotransmitter, by mimicking its effects.

兴奋剂会增加神经递质的作用效果,有可能是通过释放更多的神经递质而实现,也可能是通过阻止神经递质的排出而实现,也有时候是通过伪造神经递质,通过模仿神经递质的效果来实现的

In some cells they're recycled, that is the cell is able to take up the neurotransmitter after it's released and restore it, but most often there are enzyme systems inside the pre-synaptic membrane where those neurotransmitters are synthesized.

在一些细胞中神经递质可以循环利用,这些细胞可以吸收,已经释放出的神经递质并重新储存起来,但更常见的是突触前膜中含有酶系统,在此合成神经递质
