a: Vesicle ~
b: a soap bubble

What:

"So a vesicle is like a soap bubble - very small - and it is surrounded by a membrane, just like a soap bubble is surrounded by a film of soap, and inside it is the neurotransmitter. And the entire presynapse, or presynaptic neuron terminal, is also surrounded by a membrane."
