This part of the neuron receives chemical messages from the neurotransmitters of other neurons.
A
Axon Terminal
B
Dendrites
C
Myelin Sheath
D
Cell Body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The neurotransmitters cross the synapse and bind to special molecules on the other side, called receptors. Receptors are located on the dendrites. Receptors receive and process the message.

Detailed explanation-2: -An axon terminal. Neurotransmitters are located in a part of the neuron called the axon terminal. They’re stored within thin-walled sacs called synaptic vesicles. Each vesicle can contain thousands of neurotransmitter molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each forms a synapse with a dendrite or cell body of another neuron. The cell to which the axon terminal belongs (sending cell) is called the presynaptic cell, while the cell to which the dendrite or cell body belongs (receiving cell) is called the postsynaptic cell.
