Abstract
ELECTRON microscopic evidence1–3 has led us to believe that smooth microvesicles (“synaptic vesicles”) within neurosecretory terminals of posterior pituitary glands arise from coated microvesicles formed by invagination and vesiculation of the cell surface following exocytosis (see preceding communication)3.
