No. They are located at the ends of axons, but not the dendrites.
Please refer to the related links below to see an illustration.

What impulse conduction is the fastest in neurons?
Axons conduct the nerve impulses. Dendrites receive the impulses. Possible the impulses go through the dendrites faster, though the synaptic cleft may slow this pathway. Dendrites are much shorter than axons.
Why is there fat coating around the dendrites and axons?
The fat coating around the dendrites and axons is to insulate them.
Where is neurotransmitter stored?
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the terminal bouton of pre-synaptic axons. They are released from the terminal bouton into the synaptic cleft and the neurotransmitters exert their action on the post-synaptic neurons.
Synaptic knobs occur at the ends of?
axons
What is the bundle of axons called in the CNS?
Axons and dendrites that go to or from the same region of the body travel together in bundles, somewhat like telephone cables. A nerve is a bundle of axons and/or dendrites in the PNS. A bundle of axons and/or dendrites in the CNS is called a tract.for more info see link below
Where is the dendrites located at?
dendrites are located at the nerves together with axons.
Where does a synapse occur?
Synapses occur at synaptic cleft (or also called as "synaptic gap"). The location of "synaptic cleft" depends on the types of synapses:axo-dendritic synapse : between axons and dendritesaxo-somatic synapse : between axons and cell bodiesaxo-axonic synapse : between axons and axonsdendro-denritic syanpse : between dendrites and dendrites
Is it the synaptic cleft that contains vesicles filled with acetylcholine?
The synaptic knob contains vesicles filled with neurotransmitters. Therefore, Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that stimulates skeletal muscle to contract. It is released into the synaptic clefts between motor neuron axons and motor end plates.

Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the terminal bouton of pre-synaptic axons. They are released from the terminal bouton into the synaptic cleft and the neurotransmitters exert their action on the post-synaptic neurons.
Axons and dendrites?
Axons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the neuron cell body. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive incoming signals from axons of other neurons. Together, axons and dendrites play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the nervous system.
Axons and dendrites is another word for?
Axons are the output element of a neuron, and dendrites are the input elements of a neuron.
Which structures pertain to neurons?
Synapses, dendrites, dendritic spines (bumps on dendrites where synapses are often found), dendritic arbors (tree-like projections of dendrites), somas (body of neuron), axon hillocks (where a summation of input impulses may initiate an action potential or spike), axons, myelin sheaths (on myelinated axons), and axon terminals (containing vesicles of neurotransmitters).
What are the two kinds of branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron what does each do?
The ones carrying the input are the dendrites, the ones carrying the output are the axons.
What are Axons and dendrites are part of?
cell
What are the processes of the system?
dendrites and axons
