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: -A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dendrites carry messages toward the nerve cell body, or center of the neuron. The axon carries messages away from the cell body.
