Different neurotransmitters are needed because they have specific functions in the brain and body. They influence various processes such as mood, cognition, movement, and regulation of bodily functions. Having a variety of neurotransmitters allows for a complex and intricate communication system within the nervous system.

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.

What does hormones and neurotransmitters not have in common?

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.
