Neurotransmitters: Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit messages from the nervous system to the target cell. They are the chemical massagers where the electrical signal from the nervous system is travelled from one neuron to another to reach the target cell.

Receptors: Receptors is a molecule or a part of molecule which interacts with a neurotransmitter, a hormone or other molecules which are biochemically active so that a response is initiated in a target cell.

Hormones: Hormones are chemical messengers which are secreted by the cell in endocrine system and are transported along the blood to stimulate the target cells having the corresponding receptors.
