Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemicals that are released by neurons to stimulate or inhibit the action of other neurons are known as neurotransmitters. Receptors are protein molecules on the surface of cells that bind to specific substances to trigger a response. Receivers is not a term commonly used in neuroscience. Glia are cells that provide support and protection for neurons, but they do not release neurotransmitters.
