Confused on Neurotransmitters

[MynameisMike]

I'm reviewing a chapter and I'm a bit confused on NT's right now.

Do all neurons contain all the types of NT's or do specific neurons contain specific types of (or just one) NT's?

Do post-synaptic membranes on neurons contain all receptors for all NT's?

-Thanks

I think the easy answer is many neuron contain more than one type of NT, but not all NTs exists in all neurons.

Cells can also change their profile receptor, so i think the answer is similar PSM can have many different receptors but not all and the composition can change.

still certain neurons are "known" for have a high amount of certain NTS, dopamine for instance insubstancia nigra, Ach and neuromuscular junctons etc. Thats probabaly the generalizations you need to know

Alright, that all makes sense.
thanks
