What are neuro chemical transmitters?
Answers
Answer:
Neurotransmitters and neuromodulators are the molecules responsible for the transmission of information on chemical synapses. For a molecule to be considered as a neurotransmitter (i) must be stored in vesicles together with the enzymes responsible for its synthesis; (ii) must be released in response to an increase in intracellular Ca2+; and (iii) the exogenous administration of the neurotransmitter should elicit the same response as it were endogenously produced.
Neurotransmitters can be classified into two groups: (i) classic, such as amino acid derivatives and (ii) neuropeptides.
Answer:
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.
