  • there are 3 main groups:
    • 神經系統中的messenger(訊息物質亦有neurotransmitterneuromodulator兩種物質之分,但是兩者的界定並不清楚
      • if the structure of those messenger(訊息物質 is peptide, we call them neuropeptide.
    • endocrine(激素
    • autocrine(自泌素
  • indeed, a substance act as one of these 3 groups may also act in other groups. And the nomenclature is not always as the name suggested, the nomenclature often result from place they first being discovered. As the result, a substance named after place where neurotransmitter, endocrine(激素 or autocrine(自泌素 come from may actually mainly as messenger(訊息物質 where is not it is named after. Ex.
    • noreadrenaline is named after kidney, is mainly act as neurotransmitter but not endocrine(激素
