Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, the gap between synaptic terminals and adjacent neurons, and then bind to special neurotransmitter receptors, molecules on the membrane of adjacent neurons.

Neurotransmitters are body’s chemical messengers produced by the nerve cells. Neurotransmitters are used by the nervous system to send messages to other cells, including other nerve cells and muscle cells. Neurotransmitters are classified according to their functions as; excitatory neurotransmitters, inhibitory neurotransmitters, and modulatory neurotransmitters. The major types of neurotransmitters include; trace amines such as N-methylphenethylamine, amino acids such as D-serine, and gasotransmitters such as carbon monoxide (CO).

What are neurotransmitters?

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit message between different neurons and from nucleus to neurons.

Synaptic cleft is the space between the neurons and its target cell. It forms a junction between two neurons.

Neurotransmitter receptor are membrane protein that are activated by neurotransmitters.

There are two types of neurotransmitter receptor

  • Ionotropic
  • Metabotropic

A. Synaptic cleft.

B. Neurotransmitter receptor.
