The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options does not act as a neurotransmitter, we need to first understand what neurotransmitters are and then analyze the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Neurotransmitters**: - Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that transmit signals from one neuron to another. They play a crucial role in communication within the nervous system. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - We will look at each option provided to see if it is classified as a neurotransmitter or not. 3. **Option A: Cortisone**: - Cortisone is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland, primarily in response to stress. It is not involved in transmitting signals between neurons, thus it does not act as a neurotransmitter. 4. **Option B: Acetylcholine**: - Acetylcholine is a well-known neurotransmitter that plays a key role in muscle activation and various brain functions. 5. **Option C: Affine Efferent**: - This term appears to be a misrepresentation. However, if we consider "afferent" and "efferent" as types of neurons, they are involved in the transmission of signals. If we consider "affine" as a typo for "affecting," it does not fit the context of neurotransmitters. 6. **Option D: Nor Affine Efferent**: - Similar to the previous option, if we interpret "nor affine" as referring to norepinephrine (noradrenaline), it is indeed a neurotransmitter involved in the fight-or-flight response. 7. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the options, we conclude that the only one that does not act as a neurotransmitter is **Option A: Cortisone**. ### Final Answer: **Option A: Cortisone does not act as a neurotransmitter.** ---
