Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminals of one neuron and bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, transmitting the signal across the synaptic cleft. Hormones are released into the bloodstream and affect distant cells, while pheromones are detected by receptors in the environment (such as on the antennae of insects) to communicate information between members of the same species. Neurotoxins are substances that are poisonous to neurons and can damage or kill them.
