Title: do receiving neurons have dendrites or just receptor sites?
Post by: FF/EMT on May 8, 2013
i know the neuron that SENDS the messages is a presynaptic cell and the RECEIVING neuron is a postsynaptic cell. The presynaptic cell has dendrites, but does the receiving neuron have dendrites or just receptor sites?

BOTH.
 Receptor sites exist in the membranes of cell bodies AND dendrites.
