Peptide neurotransmitters are synthesized by some neurons. Organelles in abundance to manufacture these proteins would include ______________ and __ _____________. These neurotransmitters would need to be shipped to the cell surface. They would leave in vesicles from the ________________ and travel along the _______________ to reach the cell’s surface. Other hormones are derived from cholesterol. This organelle is utilized to make these hormones. _______________. Macrophages (what is a macrophage?) _________________ engulf bacteria by phagocytosis and degrade these bacteria using this organelle ____________________. Other cells, like hepatocytes, (what is a hepatocyte?) _____________ detoxify harmful chemical and utilize a different organelle called a __

A class of chemicals called neurotransmitters is important in the transmission of nerve impulses. Neurotransmitters are packaged by the cell into small, membrane-bound sacs called vesicles. Upon receiving a chemical signal, the vesicles move towards the cell membrane and fuse with it, releasing the enclosed neurotransmitters from the terminal end of the nerve cell. Which organelle is most likely responsible for packaging neurotransmitters into a vesicle?
