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.

Is Oxygen transported primarily by blood plasma true or false?

False. Oxygen is primarily transported by red blood cells, specifically by hemoglobin molecules inside the red blood cells. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs and is then transported to tissues throughout the body.


Where are neurotransmitters produced?

The nervous system is traditionally considered the main producer of neurotransmitters. They are produced in the cyton, or soma; the body of the nerve cell that contains the nucleus. They are then transported to the synaptic vessicles where they wait to be released by an action potential by stimulation.


Where in the cell are peptide neurotransmitters synthesized?

Peptide neurotransmitters are synthesized in the cell body of neurons in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Once synthesized, they are packaged into vesicles and transported down the axon to the nerve terminal for release.
