receptors, typically on dendrites
Neuron
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.

dendrite
No, nerve impulses do not begin in the axon of a neuron; they typically begin in the dendrites or the cell body. When a neuron receives sufficient stimulation, it generates an action potential that travels down the axon. The axon then conducts this impulse away from the cell body towards other neurons or target tissues.
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 axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.

The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
