Dangling question re RECEPTORS:

Posted by Janelle on March 23, 2002, at 21:00:01

The responses to my "TCA and Receptors" Post above focussed solely on TCA's, so I thought I'd post the RECEPTOR question separately here:
I'm not sure I'm getting the concept of the receptor - from the spelling of the word I associate it with *receiving*, so I come away with the idea that receptors receive things. Yet, when I read various threads on here explaining things, it sounds like receptors RELEASE things (e.g. do receptors release histamines?)
What do receptors do? Ack ... I'm confused.
