MICROANATOMY

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: -Dendrites: are tree-like structures that extend away from the cell body to receive neurotransmitters from other neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Terminal Buttons and Synapses The terminal buttons are located at the end of the neuron and are responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -The surface of the dendrites is filled with receptors that become enacted upon by neurotransmitters that traversed the synapse after the pre-synaptic neuron fired and released neurotransmitters into the synapse.

Detailed explanation-5: -The part of the neuron that receives neurotransmitters is called the dendrites.
