Synapse? Dendrite? Dendritic spine? Or, "You could maybe a better answer to your question get if you re-stated it less confusingly as?" ie, perhaps, "Where are the receptor sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse LOCATED?"

A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
The cochlea; sound wave are transferred through the ear canal and vibrated the ear drum which is connected to the cochlea and amplified the sound wave. When the sound wave reached the cochlea, sound wave is converted into nerve impulse and transferred through the nerve to the brain. Receptor is a converter of stimulus to electrical nerve impulse ; cochlea converted sound wave into nerve impulse and so cochlea is the sensory receptor of the ear.
When a neurotransmitter lands on their receptor site, they can either excite of inhibit the receiving cell. To excite a cell, positive sodium ions flow to it, which depolarizes the membrane in a similar way to a nerve impulse. The depolarizing effect spreads through the membrane and only last for 1/3 of a millisecond.
The pathway that an impulse travels from your foot back to your leg is an example of a reflex arc. A reflex arc includes a sensory receptor (in this case, a receptor in your toe), sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector (leg muscle). Some reflex arcs include interneurons. In other reflex arcs, a sensory neuron communicates directly with a motor neuron.

You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the synapses. They are defined as a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.

The neural impulse is the electrical charge that goes from the nerve receptor to the brain. They are generated when the nerve receptor detects a foreign stimuli.

A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
organ of corti, is a receptor organ that generates nerve impulse in response to vibration of the basilar membrane.
A neural impulse is similar to an electrical signal in three ways: 1. there are electrical voltages involved in the movement of the neural impulse; 2. an electrical signal can convey information, as can a neural impulse; 3. an electrical signal can cause an action, like a car starter switch starting the engine, and a neural impulse can cause a muscle to contract to move a limb. (note that with respect to the voltages involved in the neural impulse, the voltages are created by the movement of chemicals, charged particles called ions, somewhat similar to how batteries produce voltages.) (also note that the neural impulse is the signal which moves along the axon, as an action potential.)
The nervous system is made up of three parts: the receptor, the decider, and the effector. The receptor receives an stimulus and creates an electric impulse to be sent to the brain. The brain receives this impulse and decides what to do in order to react to the stimulus. Your brain then makes a decision and sends out an electric impulse to the effector which moves the muscle or activates a gland in your body which is a reaction to the stimulus.
