Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The similarity between hormone vasopressin and the neurotransmitter dopamine is to be stated in terms of their action.
Concept Introduction:
Hormones are the chemicals released by endocrine glands directly into the blood. These chemical have various type of essential functions in the body such as body growth regulation.
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals present in the body that transmits the signal from one neuron to another neuron.
(b)
Interpretation:
The difference between the hormone vasopressin and the neurotransmitter dopamine in terms of their modes of action is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Hormones are the chemical released by endocrine glands direct into the blood. These chemical have various type of essential function in the body such as body growth regulation.
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals present in the body that transmits the signal from one neuron to another neuron.
