postsynapse: containing receptor sites for the neurotransmitters on the dendrites.
the longest part of a nerve cell is called the Axon.
The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron. The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
Signalling ALONG a neuron is electrical, but signalling BETWEEN neurons is a chemical process. Neuron A 'passes' a message onto the next by releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters , which are then taken up by neuron B. The point at which these neurotransmitters are released from the neuron A is called the 'terminal bouton' and is the end of its axon. More specifically, it is the presynaptic membrane OF the terminal bouton at which the passing on of a message occurs.
The bony part of the head in humans is called the skull. It serves to protect the brain and support the structures of the face.
The receiving part of a brain cell is called the dendritic tree. Dendrites are small branching structures that protrude from the cell body of a neuron. They receive electrical signals and chemical messages from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.

The synaptic cleft is the area of the neuron that secretes neurotransmitters.

A Dendrite
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).
The function of the neuron part that picks up signals from other neurons is to receive and integrate incoming signals, allowing the neuron to communicate with other neurons and process information. This part is called the dendrite.
the longest part of a nerve cell is called the Axon.
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.
The axon terminals release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
Motor Neuron
The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron. The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
