|
|
|
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that diffuse across the synapse
|
|
|
Neurotransmitters are produced by the endocrine system
|
|
|
Each neurotransmitter has a unique structure that fits perfectly into a post synaptic receptor site
|
|
|
Neurotransmitters can have either an excitatory or inhibitory effect
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Hormones are produced by the endocrine system while neurotransmitters are produced by the nervous system. The adrenals, pancreas, kidneys, gonads, thyroid, and other ductless glands secrete hormones while neurotransmitters are released from the terminal end buttons of neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -From the reference Endocrine glands are specific gland located away from the targeted organ or cell and communicate through hormones, they produced different types of hormones either as a cluster or dependants. They produce minimum 1 to maximum 11 hormones. Therefore statements I and III are incorrect.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitters are not part of the endocrine system.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Neurotransmitters are to the nervous system what hormones are to the endocrine system. These are both considered chemical messengers. The hormones are transmitted through the blood stream, while neurotransmitters are transmitted through way of the synaptic cleft.
