The main function of neurotransmitters is to transmit signals from one part of the body to another part of the body. Usually, these signals are passed between neurons.

Is neurotransmitters transported by blood?

Neurotransmitters are not typically transported by blood; instead, they are released from neurons into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on neighboring neurons to transmit signals. While some neurotransmitters can affect the body when released into the bloodstream (like hormones), their primary function occurs locally within the nervous system. In the bloodstream, neurotransmitters can act more like hormones, but this is not their main mode of operation.

How does exercise impact the release and function of neurotransmitters in the brain?

Exercise impacts the release and function of neurotransmitters in the brain by increasing the production of certain chemicals, such as endorphins and dopamine, which can improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive function. Additionally, exercise can help regulate the levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which plays a role in mood regulation and overall mental well-being.
