Description : What is the difference between a hormone and a neurotransmitter?
Last Answer : A: Hormones are chemical messengers that are produced by endocrine glands and are transported through the bloodstream to target cells, while neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are released by ... at synapses to transmit signals between neurons or from neurons to muscles or glands.

Description : Which neurotransmitter is depleted in Parkinson’s disease?
Last Answer : Parkinson's disease results from a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine in certain brain neurons that regulate motor activity. Parkinson's disease is characterized by stiff posture, tremors, slowness ... Nerve cells can use levodopa to make dopamine and replenish the brain's dwindling supply.
Description : How are the neurotransmitter molecules inactivated after they are released at a synapse?
Last Answer : After a chemical neurotransmitter has been released from the synaptic terminal, its action must be terminated in some way. Otherwise, the continued presence of the transmitter in the ... mechanism is used to inactivate Acetylcholine released from the synaptic terminals of the motor neurons.
