Question: are neurotoxins endotoxins or exotoxins?
Answer: Exotoxins are are produced within living bacteria, and then released into the surrounding medium. Endotoxins are a component of the outer portion of a bacterial cell wall, and are released when the bacteria dies and the cell wall disintegrates. There are 3 types of exotoxins: cytotoxins, neurotoxins, and enterotoxins.
