No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
dendrite
The gap between a dendrite and an axon tip is called a synapse. It is a small junction where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal and received by the dendrite to transmit signals between neurons.

The structure that receives an impulse from the dendrite is the cell body, also known as the soma. The dendrites transmit the signal they receive to the cell body, which integrates these signals and decides whether to pass the signal to the axon for further transmission.
Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
The space between the axon of one cell and a dendrite of another is called the synaptic cleft. This small gap is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.
