Though dendrites are the primary receivers of signals carried by neurotransmitters, cell bodies also have this ability. Both dendrites and cell bodies have receptor sites which allow the neurotransmitter to fit in (or bind) to the appropriate receptor sites. This binding allows the neuron to receive, or take in, the message/information that is being transmitted.
