Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The receptor site is the part of the dendrite that is specifically designed to receive a neurotransmitter from another neuron. The terminal refers to the end of the axon where neurotransmitters are released, the myelin sheath is a fatty covering that insulates the axon and helps speed up neural signals, and the hillock is a part of the neuron cell body where signals from other neurons are integrated before being sent down the axon.
