The main transmitter for synapses that lie outside the central nervous system is?
Correct answer: D. Acetylcholine
- A. Adrenaline
- B. Serotonin
- C. Dopamine
- D. Acetylcholine
Explanation
The main neurotransmitter for synapses that lie outside the central nervous system is Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter that is commonly found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and is responsible for transmitting signals from neurons to muscles, glands, and other target cells outside the CNS.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
