Where is the norepinephrine located?

Neurotransmitters are chemicals produced in and around the nervous system of animals.

There are many kinds of neurotransmitter chemicals.

What is the difference between epinepherin and norepinepherin?

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two very structurally similar molecules. They've both involved in the sympathetic part of your autonomic nervous system. Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a hormone which is secreted from the adrenal medulla when activated by the sympathetic nervous system (during times of stress). Norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline) is a neurotransmitter that is released by neurons in the sympathetic nervous system. Epinephrine and norepinephrine generally produce the same effects as they both interact with adrenergic receptors in the body. Epinephrine is structurally different from norepinephrine as epinephrine has a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the nitrogen atom (making it a secondary amine), whereas norepinephrine is just a primary amine.
