Solution
The correct option is D Cortisone
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are used to relay, amplify and modulate electrical signals between a neuron and another cell. Substances that act as neurotransmitters can be categorized into three major groups
- amino acids (primarily glutamid acid, GABA, aspartic acid and glycine)
- peptides (vasopressin, somatostatin, neurotensin, etc.)
- monoamines (norephinephrine, dopamine and serotonin) plus acetylcholine
Cortisone is a steroid hormone that suppresses the immune system, thus reducing inflammation, pain and swelling at the site of the injury.
