The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a?
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
What site where the motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the?
Neuromuscular junction
The actual gap between an axon ending and the muscle cell is called what?
Neuromuscular junction.
What is the point of contact between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle cell called?
This point is often called the neuromuscular junction or motor end plate. ?The neurotransmitter used here is acetylcholine.Many diseases occur with dysfunction at this junction, like Myesthenia Gravis, botulism, or Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.
Protein 'tunnels' between animal cells through which materials can pass from cell-to-cell?
For animal cells it is called a "gap junction"
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
What is an adherens junction?
An adherens junction is a protein complex which occurs at cell-cell junctions in epithelial tissues.
Name the site of close juxtaposition of an end terminal and the sarcolemma of a muscle cell?
It is called the neuromuscular junction.
What type of membrane junction allows ions to pass directly from cell to cell?
Gap junctions
What kind of membrane junctions does a cell have?
Tight junction - impermeable junction that encircles the cell Desmosome - anchoring junction scattered along the sides of cells Gap junction - a nexus that allows chemical substances to pass between cells
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.
What intercellular junction in which cells are bound together by fusion of the outer cell membrane is called what?
In vertebrates, there are three major types of cell junction:1. Adherens junctions, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes (anchoring junctions.)2. Gap junctions (communicating junction)3. Tight junctions (occluding junctions)Your question most likely is for the tight junction but more information in the question would be helpful.
