Answer #1

Neurohormone has a characteristic of both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It is a chemical messenger. They are initially released via neurons, but once they make way to the bloodstream they can reach different sites of action. Well known neurohormones are vasopressin and oxytocin. The paraventricular nucleus releases oxytocin, whereas the supraoptic nucleus releases the vasopressin.
