Question

Name the different neurotransmitters and their function

Answer 1

Neurotransmitters are endogenous
chemicals that enable
neurotransmission. It is a type of chemical messenger which transmits signals across a chemical synapse, such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another "target" neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.[1] Neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles in synapses into the synaptic cleft, where they are received by neurotransmitter receptors on the target cells. Many neurotransmitters are synthesized from simple and plentiful precursors such as amino acids, which are readily available from the diet and only require a small number of biosynthetic steps for conversion. Neurotransmitters play a major role in shaping everyday life and functions. Their exact numbers are unknown, but more than 200 chemical messengers have been uniquely identified.[2][3][4]

Answer 2

The main difference between neurotransmitter and neuromodulator is that neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger released by a neuron to affect either one or two post-synaptic neurons or another specific effector organ whereas neuromodulator is another chemical messenger released by a neuron to affect a group of
