Practice question
Question
Primary neurotransmitter released at NTS by baroreceptor afferents is:
Explanation
Correct option is C, Glutamate. In Cardiac Cycle and Regulation, the accurate description is Glutamate, and that is what you should commit to memory. Keep the definition tight and the role clear — Glutamate is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Cardiac Cycle and Regulation. Then Glutamate is the answer you can defend. Check yourself by covering the options and writing the answer first, then matching the letter — that builds confidence. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto Glutamate. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
