Yes a neuron will always respond to the binding of neurotransmitters released from another cell (synaptic transmission being the 'impulse'). Depending on which neurotransmitter was bound, the postsynaptic potential of the membrane will become either more positive or more negative. It is the summation of these inputs and membrane potentials that determine whether the cell will subsequently fire an action potential.

In a neuron, impulses move through electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials are generated when a neuron receives enough stimulation to reach a threshold, causing a rapid change in membrane potential. The action potential then travels down the length of the neuron's axon until it reaches the next neuron or target cell.
The dendrites of a neuron receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.
Myelin sheath. It is a fatty layer that surrounds the axon of a neuron and helps to speed up the transmission of electrical impulses along the neuron.
When impulses from various sources have an additive effect on a neuron, the process is called summation. This can occur through temporal summation, where multiple impulses from the same source rapidly fire in succession, or spatial summation, where impulses from different sources converge at the same time to reach the neuron's threshold for firing.
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
The efferent neuron carries impulses towards the periphery.

In a neuron, impulses move through electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials are generated when a neuron receives enough stimulation to reach a threshold, causing a rapid change in membrane potential. The action potential then travels down the length of the neuron's axon until it reaches the next neuron or target cell.
The neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called a dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body for processing. This input helps the neuron determine whether or not to generate an action potential.
