Neurotransmitter carries, boosts, and balances signals between neurons (nerve cells) and target cells throughout the body. These target cells may be in glands, muscles, or other neurons.
Network of nerves 0r nervous system controls everything from human mind to his muscles, as well as organ functions. In other words, nerves are involved in everything human being do, think and feel.
Some common neurotransmitters in the brain and body include serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and endorphins.
Neurotransmitters are located in a part of the neuron called the axon terminal. They’re stored within thin-walled sacs called synaptic vesicles. Each vesicle can contain thousands of neurotransmitter molecules.
When stimulated, the vesicles merge with the cell membrane of the presynaptic cell, and the neurotransmitter is released into the synapse, or “synaptic space.” The target cells contain receptors where the neurotransmitters can bind and trigger changes in the cells.
