Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impulses at the chemical synapses. They are present in the synaptic vesicles at axon terminals.
Whereas, hormones are non-nutrient .chemicals which act as intercellular messengers and are produped in trace amounts.
Cerebrospinal fluid is present in subarachnoid space. It provides shock resistance to brain .
Lymph is a colourless fluis containing specialised lymphocytes which are responsible for the immune responses of the body. It is important carrier for nutrients, hormones, etc. Fats are absorbed through lacteals (lymph vessels) present in microvilli of intestine.
