They're actually stored in these vesicles and so--and they get into the vesicles in a variety of different ways.

实际上它们就储存在小泡里,它们通过不同方式进入小泡

When these vesicles dump their contents into the synaptic cleft, the concentration of these ligands rise.

当这些小泡将其内含物释放入突触间隙,这些配体的浓度即增加

They're synthesized, they're packaged into vesicles, and then they're just waiting.

神经递质不断合成 包装进小泡中,时刻准备着

When an action potential comes down this pre-synaptic axon, when it reaches this point here, it sets off the process of these vesicles dumping their content into the synaptic cleft.

当动作电位到达轴突的突触前膜时,当到达这一点时 小泡就将其内含物,排放到突触间隙中去

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

another thing that you'd find if you looked inside the axon terminals of any of these pre-synaptic membranes, you'd find lots of vesicles or some membrane bound compartments that contain special chemicals called neurotransmitters.

如果你仔细观察,突触前膜的轴突末梢内部,你会发现很多小泡,即膜包被的结构,包含有称为神经递质的特殊化合物

If you could look inside a pre-synaptic axon terminal, you would find one of the characteristics is that it's loaded with these vesicles and they're just sitting there waiting to receive an action potential so that they can immediately dump their contents.

如果你能够一窥突触前的轴突末梢内部,你将会发现一个共同特征,神经递质都装载在小泡中,时刻准备着等待动作电位激活,以便迅速释放其内含物
