These are chemicals that are used for communication
A
Neurotransmitters
B
Dendrites
C
Synaptic Vesicles
D
Axon Terminals
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of excitatory neurotransmitters include glutamate, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Inhibitory. Inhibitory neurotransmitters block or prevent the chemical message from being passed along any farther. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine and serotonin are examples of inhibitory neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons talk to each other using special chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are like chemical words, sending “messages” from one neuron to another. There are many different sorts of neurotransmitters: some stimulate neurons, making them more active; others inhibit them, making them less active.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitters are endogenous-produced inside the neuron itself. When a cell is activated, these neurochemicals are released into the synapse from specialized pouches clustered near the cell membrane called synaptic vesicles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help nerve cells communicate with each other. They include serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, and acetylcholine. Neurotransmitters serve several functions, such as regulating appetite, the sleep-wake cycle, and mood.
