Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter with diverse functions, both in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It plays a key role in muscle movement, memory, learning, attention, and arousal, as well as regulating bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and gut motility.

Norepinephrine (noradrenaline)

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a hormone and neurotransmitter primarily involved in the body's response to stress and danger, also known as the "fight-or-flight" response. It increases heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, and dilates airways, preparing the body to react to immediate threats.

Dopamina

Glutamate is a key amino acid and the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It plays a crucial role in learning, memory, and other cognitive functions by facilitating communication between nerve cells. Additionally, glutamate can act as an energy source for brain cells when glucose levels are low and is involved in pain signaling.

Serotonin

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter and hormone that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including mood regulation, sleep, digestion, and blood clotting. It acts as a chemical messenger, transmitting signals between nerve cells in the brain and throughout the body. Serotonin is also involved in regulating appetite, body temperature, and sexual desire.

Histamine

Histamine is a crucial signaling molecule in the body with diverse functions, including its role in allergies, immune responses, and regulating various physiological processes. It acts as a chemical messenger, transmitting messages between cells, and also plays a role in inflammation, digestion, and regulating sleep-wake cycles.
