receptors, typically on dendrites
dendrite
The part of the neuron that receives the majority of inputs is the dendritic tree. In most neurons its appearance is very similar to what a tree would look like in Autumn with no leaves. The part that carries information away and toward the dendrites of other cells is called the axon. There is only one axon per neuron and they can vary quite considerably in their length.
The SOMA (the body of the neuron) is the main metabolic region of the neuron, and can SOMETIMES receive signals from other neurons, but the DENDRITE is usually the neuronal structure which receives signals, often at tiny protuberances from the dendrite called dendritic spines, although some connections (synapses) can sometimes be on the axon (the output structure).Read more: Which_part_of_the_neuron_receives_signals_from_other_cells_and_is_also_the_main_metabolic_region_of_the_neuron
synaptic terminal
Neural input happens at the dendrites (dendritic tree) of the neuron, but some neurons, notably the sympathetic, can receive input at the axon hillock (where the axon leaves the soma).
receptors, typically on dendrites
The Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the neuron's soma and dendrites. Synapse's happens when contact is made by one neuron's axon and is received by another neuron's dendrite and soma. The synaptic signaling procedure is vital to positive neuron function.

A Dendrite

Axon sends the message. Dendrite receives it.
Usually the dendrites receive messages (this end of the neuron is thus referred to as the receiving end)

Dendrites are the receptors of a neuron.
