Yes, antihistamines can affect neurotransmitters, particularly by blocking the action of histamine at H1 receptors in the brain. This can lead to sedative effects, as histamine is involved in promoting wakefulness and alertness. Additionally, some antihistamines may influence other neurotransmitter systems, such as acetylcholine, which can contribute to side effects like dry mouth and drowsiness. Overall, their primary role is to alleviate allergic symptoms by counteracting histamine's effects.

Are neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential called excitatory?
No, neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential are called inhibitory neurotransmitters. Excitatory neurotransmitters have the opposite effect, causing depolarization and increasing the likelihood of an action potential.

Answer is B. drowsiness
Do all excitatory neurotransmitters have the same effect on organs?
No, not all excitatory neurotransmitters have the same effect on organs. Excitatory neurotransmitters can have specific functions and effects on different organs and systems in the body depending on their receptor types and distribution. For example, glutamate and acetylcholine are excitatory neurotransmitters with distinct roles in the nervous system and organs.
