Neurotransmitters, enzymes or hormones
Examples of neurotransmitters are: acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. They also act as hormones but basically they are neurotransmitters that helps send nerve impulses to the brain through axons so that a certain action can be done by a muscle or gland.
1. They are the building blocks of proteins. They create polypeptide chains which create DNA (a protein). 2. They can be metabolized to produce energy. 3. They can act as starting material for bio-synthesis of neurotransmitters, hormones and other biochemical compounds. 4. Some can act as neurotransmitters.
they both communicate stuff in the body
They are both from different systems. Hormones are from the endocrine system and neurotransmitters are from the nervous system. They both also have different ways of how they communicate with the body to change or have a reaction. Hormones travel through the blood to the location that needs to be changed or balanced. Neurotransmitters travel along nerves. A third thing is that they affect the body differently. Hormones affect the systems that we generally don't notice, like our growth. Whereas neurotransmitters our typically immediately noticed, like tickling or pain.
