Compare And Contrast The Two Types Of Excitatory Transmitters

Neuro- is nerves and transmitter can send waves that carry a signal. In other words, a neurotransmitter is sort of like a mail man, although in this case instead of being called a mail man, it is called a chemical messenger. Like a mail man, a chemical messenger can transmit signals or codes from one neuron to another. And the way that this takes place is by synapses. There are two synapses that have two different names that are allowing these neurons to communicate or send messages to one another without having to touch. And since they are transmitting these messages without touching, there is a small gap between the two synapses, called a gap junction. This so called gap junction allows for the two synpases to communicate the message being sent. There are two types of neurotransmitters, which are excitatory and inhibitor. But, in this case, we are dealing with an excitatory neurotransmitter.
The types of excitatory transmitters that could be brought on are dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine or acetylcholine, and glutamate. Each one of these is used for something different in the body and include a different process. Like stated before, these types of transmitters are transmitted through chemical messengers to the brain. Since we are talking about acetylcholine and dopamine, those both have very different functions for the body. One deals with motor skills and memory while the other deals with movement and emotional reponses along with many other
