Epinephrine & Norepinephrine (NE)
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells, while hormones are chemicals that regulate various bodily functions by traveling through the bloodstream. Neurotransmitters act quickly and have localized effects, while hormones act more slowly and have widespread effects throughout the body.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between nerve cells, while hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various bodily functions. Neurotransmitters act locally at synapses, while hormones travel through the bloodstream to target cells.
Neurotransmitters are not typically transported by blood; instead, they are released from neurons into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on neighboring neurons to transmit signals. While some neurotransmitters can affect the body when released into the bloodstream (like hormones), their primary function occurs locally within the nervous system. In the bloodstream, neurotransmitters can act more like hormones, but this is not their main mode of operation.
Hormones and neurotransmitters are both chemical messengers in the body, but they have different functions and modes of communication. Hormones are released into the bloodstream by endocrine glands and travel throughout the body to target cells, affecting various processes like growth, metabolism, and reproduction. In contrast, neurotransmitters are released by neurons in the nervous system and act locally at synapses to transmit signals between nerve cells. Hormones have slower and longer-lasting effects, while neurotransmitters have faster and more immediate effects.
Neurotransmitters and hormones both act as chemical messengers in the body, helping to regulate various physiological processes. They both play a crucial role in communication between cells and organs, influencing functions such as mood, metabolism, and growth.
Hormones are chemical messengers released into the bloodstream to affect distant target cells, while neurotransmitters are released at synapses to transmit signals between nerve cells. Hormones act more slowly and have longer-lasting effects, while neurotransmitters act quickly and have more localized effects in the nervous system.
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.

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.
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.
