Synaptic vesicles contain thousands of neurotransmitter. The  neurotransmitters are packed into a small membrane bound synaptic  vesicles. There are thousands of neurotransm â¦ itter molecules.
The synapse is a small gap separating neurons. The synapse consists of: a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles, a postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites for neurotransmitters and, a synaptic cleft or space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic endings. It is about 20nm wide. An action potential cannot cross the synaptic cleft between neurones. Instead the nerve impulse is carried by chemicals called neurotransmitters. These chemicals are made by the cell that is sending the impulse (the pre-synaptic neurone) and stored in synaptic vesicles at the end of the axon.
