What is another site within the neuromuscular junction that might be affected to prevent muscle contraction?

The motor endplate is the is the large, complex terminal formation by which a motor neuron axon establishes synaptic contact with a striated muscle fiber. While succinylcholine produces motor endplate depolarization at the neuromuscular junction to prevent acetylcholine release, curare and medical derivatives such as tubocurarine are non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents that inhibit depolarization by blocking acetylcholine from binding to receptors on the motor endplate (i.e., the curare site of action is the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction). Curare occupies the agonist position in competition against acetylcholine.

What is acetylecholine?
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps transmit electrical nervous impulses from one nerve to another. Commonly found when a nerve terminates in a muscle (the neuromuscular junction) to cause contraction.
What location does a neuron transfer an impulse to another cell?
It depends on what the next structure is. If it is another neurone, then it is a synapse. If it is skeletal muscle, then the it is a neuromuscular junction. If it is any other type of muscle, then it is a myoneural junction.
What would happen if acetylcholine was released into a neuromuscular junction?
It attaches to its receptor, and binds. Causes another action potential, (calcium released) and it goes to the T-tubule of the Sarcoplasmic reticulum, and attaches to troponin, which moves the tropomyosin, so the myosin and actin and attach, and cause a muscle contraction.
The tiny space between the axon terminal and the dendrite of another neuron is called the?
Synaptic Cleft.
Where can one find more information about neuromuscular things?
One can find more information about the neuromuscular system from websites such as Sonoma's educational website. Wikipedia is another resource for information about the neuromuscular system.
Another word for a painful contraction of a mucle?
A painful muscle contraction is a cramp.
What is another word for spasms?
How about " contraction" ? Or you could have hemoglobin reactional dispersal of sperm
What is another word for shortening of a muscle?
contraction
What is Another name for pn junction?
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
Another word for a painful contraction of a muscle?
A painful contraction of a muscle is a cramp or charley horse.
What steps involved in transmitting the impulse from one neuron to another and then to the muscle fiber?
Brain send the message via nerve impulses involving neurons which use the neuro-transmitter AcetylcholineEach nerve impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron's. the impulse move rapidly toward the neuron's cell body and then down the axon until it reaches the axon tip.a nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of electrical and chemical signals.Acetylcholine- a neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction triggers a muscle action potential, which leads to muscle contraction
What is another homonym for there?
