Serotonin can have both excitatory and inhibitory effects depending on the receptor type and the specific brain region. Generally, serotonin is known to have mainly inhibitory functions in the central nervous system.
None of the above. The neurotransmitter responsible for the excitatory phase of muscle contraction is acetylcholine. It is released from motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle fibers.
No, not all excitatory neurotransmitters have the same effect on organs. Excitatory neurotransmitters can have specific functions and effects on different organs and systems in the body depending on their receptor types and distribution. For example, glutamate and acetylcholine are excitatory neurotransmitters with distinct roles in the nervous system and organs.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that can be converted into serotonin in the body. It is a precursor to serotonin, which means it is used to produce serotonin during the serotonin synthesis process.
acetylcholine
Yes, noradrenaline is generally considered excitatory in the brain and central nervous system. It promotes arousal, alertness, and the "fight or flight" response by enhancing neuronal activity and transmission.
