To make sure that endorphins are truly neurochemicals, which of the following question should we ask these gentlemen? Please select all that apply.a) Are endorphins released in response to presynaptic depolarization?
b) Do endorphins interact with postsynaptic receptors?
c) Are endorphins found in presynaptic cells?
d) Are endorphins subject to reuptake?
Name two defining properties of neurotransmitters.
