Which one of the following does not act as a neutrotransmitter

Options

A. Acetylcholine
B. Epinephrine
C. Norepinephrine
D. Cortisone

Answer

D

Explanation

Cortisone does not act as a neurtransmitter. Cortisone is a corticosteriod that is itself biologically inactive and is formed naturally in the adrenal gland (adrenal cortex) from the active hormone cortisol. Cortisol promotes the synthesis and storage of glucose and is important in the normal response to stress, suppresses inflammation and regulates deposition of fat in body.
Acetylcholine is neurotransmitter secreted from the nerve endings.
Epinephire and norpinephire are secreted from the medulla of adrenal gland the these also act as neurotransmitter.
