Yes. Both hormones and neurotransmitters qualify as being related to the same class of chemicals that are messengers in the body. Some are one or the other, while others are both. Insulin, for example, is only considered to be a hormone because it is made by tissues or pancreatic Beta cells, and released to affect other tissues like the liver and muscles. Others, like epinephrine or adrenaline, are considered both because they play a role in the nervous system as well as other tissues in the body.
