Neurotransmitter are means by which neurons communicate with one another.
There are more than 30 compounds known to be neurotransmitters, and dozens of others are thought to be so.
Synapses contain synaptic vesicles and other organelles such as mitochondria.
Chemical neurotransmitters are manufactured by neurons in the soma, then stored in little bundles
called synaptic vesicles and transferred to the synapses.

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are released at synapses - gaps between two neurones.
From the end of the axon where it crosses the synaptic cleft in a vesicle and merges with the dendrite of another neuron.
axon terminals

The 2 divisions of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) both have 2 areas where neurotransmitter is released. ?They have ganglionic synapses in the periphery wherein neurotransmitter is released and have synapses on the target organs wherein neurotransmitter is released. ?So this means there is preganglionic and postganglionic release of neurotransmitter.Sympathetic preganglionic neurotransmitter is Acetylcholine. ?Acetylcholine affects muscarinic receptors here.Sympathetic postganglionic neurotransmitter is Norepinephrine. ?Norepinephrine affects alpha or beta receptors here. ?Parasympathetic preganglionic neurotransmitter is Acetylcholine. ? Acetylcholine affects muscarinic receptors here.Parasympathetic postganglionic neurotransmitter is Acetylcholine. ?In this case Acetylcholine affects muscarinic receptors.?Sympathetic neurons are considered to be adrenergic & sympathetic neurons are considered to be cholinergic.
The substance that is released at an axonal ending to propagate the nerve impulse to the next nerve or muscle is called
serotonin

After the neurotransmitter is released from the nerve terminal, it moves across the synapse. At that point, the neurotransmitter may bind with receptors.

You do not have single neurotransmitter, which is released from axon terminals. There are many. Some facilitate the conduction of the impulse and others inhibit the same. You have acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine and many others acting as neurotransmitter.
