receptor
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.

The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus. Dendrites are extensions of the main cellular body of the neuron called the soma; the impulse is passed on to another neuron at the other end, which is called the axon. Neurons transmit impulses to each other via electro-chemical connections to each other that are known as synapses.
The dendrites are the structures in a neuron that receive information from other nerve cells. They are like branches extending from the cell body and are covered in synapses where neurotransmitters are received from other neurons.
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
Axon Terminals
The dendrites are the part of a neuron that receives messages from other neurons. They receive chemical signals from neighboring neurons and transmit the information to the cell body.
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.

Information flows through a neuron in the human brain through a process called synaptic transmission. When a neuron receives a signal, it generates an electrical impulse that travels down its axon. At the end of the axon, the electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, causing it to generate its own electrical impulse and continue the flow of information.
