To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.
What else can I help you with?
The a synaptic knob b motor end plate c neuromuscular junction d synaptic cleft e transverse tubule contains vesicles filled with acetylcholine?
c) neuromuscular junction, d) synaptic cleft.
In the synaptic cleft of a neuromuscular junction what enzyme is always present?
Acetylcholinesterase is always present in the synaptic cleft of a neuromuscular junction. It is responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, allowing for the termination of the signal transmission between the neuron and the muscle cell.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
What is the narrow space that separates the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fiber in a neuromuscular junction called?
Neuromuscular junction or neuromuscular synapse
Describe the components of the neuromuscular junction?
The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor neuron terminal, synaptic cleft, and motor end plate on the muscle fiber. When an action potential reaches the motor neuron terminal, it triggers the release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft. Acetylcholine then binds to receptors on the motor end plate, leading to muscle contraction.
The a synaptic knob b motor end plate c neuromuscular junction d synaptic cleft e transverse tubule contains vesicles filled with acetylcholine?
c) neuromuscular junction, d) synaptic cleft.
The tiny space between the axon terminal and the dendrite of another neuron is called the?
Synaptic Cleft.
Which part of the nerve cell ivides into synaptic end-bulbs at neuromuscular junction?
The axon.
Gap between axon terminal and muscle cell?
The gap between the axon terminal and muscle cell is called the synaptic cleft. It is defined as the small gap, measured in nanometers, between an axon terminal and any of the cell membranes in the immediate vicinity.

Acetylcholinesterase is always present in the synaptic cleft of a neuromuscular junction. It is responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, allowing for the termination of the signal transmission between the neuron and the muscle cell.

The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor neuron terminal, synaptic cleft, and motor end plate on the muscle fiber. When an action potential reaches the motor neuron terminal, it triggers the release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft. Acetylcholine then binds to receptors on the motor end plate, leading to muscle contraction.
Where are ACh receptors found in the body?
At every junction between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers
Where does bipolar disorder occur?
Bipolar occurs at the level of the synaptic junction between neurotransmitters and receptors in the limbic system of the brain.
Which structure contains vesicles with acetylcholine?
Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminals of neurons contain acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is released from these vesicles into the synaptic cleft to transmit signals to target cells or other neurons.
The signal to excite a muscle cell must cross the neuromuscular junction by the diffusion of acetylcholine across the?
The signal to excite a muscle cell involves the release of acetylcholine from the motor neuron into the synaptic cleft at the neuromuscular junction. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to depolarization and muscle contraction. This process is crucial for transmitting signals from the nervous system to the muscle for movement.
