Summary Introduction

To review:

The features of a chemical that describes it as a neurotransmitter.

Introduction:

The neurons are specialized cells, which have the ability to receive and transmit the electrical impulses. Neurons get depolarized in the presence of a stimulus and generate an action potential. The neurons conduct action potential in the form of chemical signals or electrical impulses. The chemical signal takes place with the help of neurotransmitters, which are small molecules that conduct information in the form of chemicals.
