What are receptors in the context of synapses and do they 'receive' multiple types of neurotransmitters?

The receptor itself can not receive more than one signal but the cell can have more than one receptor. The signals may cancel each other out or amplify it.
This can happen at both the cell level or at the level you mention, with two or sometimes more, impulses coming from two or more neurons and their receptors. This is also called signal transduction cascades.
And yes, they can be different types of neurotransmitters.

What does the structure for a pyrimidine look like?
It depends on the context. In a biological context, pyrimidines are the nucleotides with a single ring in the nitrogenous base. These include thymine and cytosine in DNA and uracil and cytosine in RNA. In an organic chemistry context, the answer is longer.
What is synaptic varicosity referring to how synaptic varicosity changes in sensitisation of Aplysia?
I believe varicosity in the context of your question refers to the enlarged and tortuous vein, artery, or lymphatic vessel in the area of the synapse. Therefore in the aplysia synaptic junctions between the sensory and motor neurons experience long term facilition in response to 5-HT and long term depression in response to RMRFamide. Research has shown macromolecules synthesis is needed for expression of the long lasting structural changes in the sensory cells and that this synthesis is porportional with long term functional modulation of sensorimotor synapses.
