Summary Introduction

To describe:

The classification of neurotransmitter on the basis of structure and function.

Concept introduction:

A neurotransmitter is chemical substances which are released by the axon terminals at the time of arrival of the nerve impulses. These neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles. These vesicles then fuse with the sending membrane which results in the release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
