Wow, that's a huge question! I'll try to break it down by neurotransmitter: 1. Acetylcholine, which is the main neurotransmitter at neuro-muscular junctions (hence movement), and also acts on the heart. 2. Adrenaline/Noradrenaline, which acts on the heart, brain, muscles, and glands (involved in release of endorphins). 3. Glutamate, main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, involved in memory control (check out epilepsy). 4. Serotonin (5-HT), also a main neurotransmitter, used as target for antidepressant drugs (check out SSRI). 5. GABA, main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, counteracts glutamate actions. 6. Dopamine, present in the brain, main one involved in reward and addiction (depletion is one of the causes of parkinson's disease). On top of this, neurons also release hormones, such as adenocorticotrophin releasing hormone (ACTH), for this you should read about the hypothalamus. Other nerve chemicals could be things such as nitric oxide (NO), second messenger system (such as phospholipase A2), and many many more! Hope this helps
What else can I help you with?
Are hormones nerve cells?
No. neurons are the cells in the body that pass signals. Hormones are the chemicals that pass signals.
What chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication?
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication. They help transmit signals across the synapse to target cells, such as other neurons or muscle cells, and are crucial for various physiological processes in the body. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
Will exercise help with depression?
Yes, exercise does help with depression. It releases chemicals in your body that your brain needs and stimulates a happy nerve.
Nerve cells that can detect chemicals are?
chemorecepters....
Is the sciatic nerve the largest nerve in the body?
Yes, the sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body.
Why does your body need chemicals?
Chemicals are essential for various bodily functions, such as metabolism, nerve transmission, and hormone regulation. These chemicals help regulate processes like digestion, respiration, and hydration, ensuring the body functions properly. Without the necessary chemicals, the body would not be able to perform these vital functions and maintain homeostasis.
Where is the neuron in the body?
Neuron is the nerve cells that carry messages to the brain .The various parts of neuron are dendrite ,axon ,nucleus , cell body and nerve ending . All the information from the environment is detected by the specialised tips of nerve cells .These receptors are usually located in our sense organs such as,nose , tongue and so on. The information acquired at the end of the dendritic tip of a nerve cell sets off a chemical reaction that creates an electrical impulse . This impulse travels from the dendrite to the cell body , and then along the axon ,to its end .At the end of the axon , the electrical impulse sets of the release of some chemicals . These chemicals cross the gap or synapse, and start a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron . This is how nerve impulse travel in a body
What is the function of sacral nerve?
Autonomic nerve function in body
What happens if the nerve cells sense that the core body temperature has dropped below 37 degrees Celsius?
The hypothalamus produces chemicals that signal cells throughout the body and speed up their activities.
What are the chemicals called that a nerve cell uses to communicate with another nerve cell or muscle cell?
Neurotransmitters
What is the main nerve in the body?
Sciatic Nerve.
How many nerve endings in the entire body?
There are approximately seven trillion nerves in the human body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves and thirty two pairs of spinal nerve roots which then branch out to the rest of the body.
