RESUMO
1. Two mechanisms proposed for the quantal release of acetylcholine (ACh) are: (i) that the quanta are pre-packaged in vesicles and released by exocytosis and (ii) that the ACh is released from the cytoplasm of the nerve terminal by the opening of an ACh channel. Our experiments were designed to test aspects of these hypotheses.
