A neurotransmitter is either taken up by the presynaptic terminus or digested/cleaved in the synaptic cleft. For example Acetylcholine is cleaved by a specific esterase present in the neuromuscular junction.

Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
Are DNA and RNA neurotransmitters?
No. Neurotransmitters are located in the brain. DNA & RNA are related to cell information and replication.

Which structure in the body releases neurotransmitters?
Neurons release neurotransmitters.
What is the relationship between drugs and the transmission of neurotransmitters?
The relationship between drugs an the transmission of neurotransmitters is that the drugs can interfere with the work of the neurotransmitters.
What does an axon release when an impulse reaches the end of it?
Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.
