Answer:

Neurotransmitters

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of neurotransmitter are acetylcholine, epinephrine, dopamine, GABA, serotonin, and etcetera. They are released from synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic membrane. They then diffuse through the synaptic cleft or neuromuscular junctions and bind to their receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and invoke an impulse.
