A nurse is reinforcing education to a group of clients about the process of neurotransmission. Which of the following statements about neurotransmission should the nurse make?

A. Neurotransmitters are chemical components that allow neurons to store energy for future use. Neurotransmitters do not store energy; they facilitate communication between neurons by transmitting signals across synapses. Their primary function is to modulate brain activity, not energy storage. B. Neurotransmitters are activated by the enzyme transferase. Neurotransmitters are not activated by transferase. They are synthesized, stored in vesicles, and released into the synaptic cleft in response to an action potential, where they bind to receptors to elicit a response. C. Neurotransmitters function by inhibiting the production of glucose. Neurotransmitters do not inhibit glucose production. They play a role in neuronal signaling, affecting mood, cognition, and physiological processes, but do not directly regulate glucose metabolism. D. Neurotransmitters are found throughout the body. Neurotransmitters exist in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, regulating various functions such as mood, movement, and autonomic responses. They are essential for communication between neurons in the brain and throughout the body.
