Receptor sites for neurotransmitters are present on:
Pre-synaptic membrane
Tips of axons
Post-synaptic membrane
Membrane of synaptic vesicles
According to the text, at a chemical synapse, the released neurotransmitters bind to their specific receptors, which are present on the post-synaptic membrane . This binding opens ion channels, allowing the entry of ions which can generate a new potential in the post-synaptic neuron.
