Neurotransmitter
neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers of the body, transmitting impulses from one nerve cell to another. Many different types of neurotransmitters are known today, and imbalances associated with these small molecules have been blamed for a range of disorders of the nervous system. Hope this helps!
In the form of an electrical pulse and also by chemical messengers.
Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood.
It's main purpose is to transport messages from one part of the body to another in the form of nerve impulses.
Yes, that is correct. The synaptic cleft is a small gap between neurons, and it prevents direct transmission of impulses. When an impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, allowing the impulse to be transmitted indirectly.

I believe they are called chemical messengers because of their function and the fact it is a chemical. They travel through the blood and target cells respond to hormones often because of their structure. I have read in a science book (McDougal Littell 's Human Biology) that they are called chemical messengers because they are made at one location and function at another.
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that the neurons use. Neurons have certain parts...dendrites which receives information (about some stimulus or from another neuron)...axon is the part of the neuron that conducts/conveys the signal to the synaptic terminals. The synaptic terminals is the part of the neuron that releases the chemical messenger aka the neurotransmitters.

The circulatory system carries hormones. These chemical messengers from the endocrine system can bring instructions from one part of the body to another.

Because they are chemicals that convey a message to another part of they body to secrete this, contract that, breakdown this substance, etc. They carry "messages" that tell other parts or cells what to do.
