Biology · Neurobiology and Neurotransmitters
The following statements propose some of the similarities and differences between classic non-peptide neurotransmitters (CNN) and peptide neurotransmitters (PN): A. CNN are synthesized at the presynaptic terminal while PN are synthesized in the cell body. B. PN receptors are confined to the specific synapse at which PN is released like that of CNN. C. When one neuron (containing both CNN and PN) is stimulated at low frequency, both PN and CNN are released from the presynaptic terminal, but at higher frequencies, only CNN is released. D. The typical action of CNN has short latency and short duration (milliseconds) while PN action may have long latency and may persist for long duration (seconds).

- 1A and B
- 2B and C
- 3C and D
