How do bones and muscles work to have movement?
The neuromuscular junction. A chemical called neurotransmitter is released from a neuron to stimulate the muscle fibers to contract.
What is the chemical transmitter released at the neuromuscular junction?
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft to bind with receptors on muscle cells. Upon binding, the muscle cells contract.
What crosses the synaptic cleft and stimulates the muscle fiber to contract?
Short answer: Neurotransmitters Long answer: amino acids, monoamines, peptides
What was The Social Contract Theory and who originally used this term?
Rousseau
What chemical element do neurons pour into the muscle fibers to make them contract?
"Caleotidomastusidialis" element maskes the muscles contract.
What is Discharge of Contracts?
A contract is discharged when neither party has any obligations under it
Why do girls get cramps from periods?
Girls' bodies produce a chemical that make the muscles of the uterus contract.
How do muscle produce mechaical energy?
Muscles store chemical energy from the food your body broke down, then your muscle turn those chemical energy to mechanical energy when they contract.
What is the neurotransmitter that initiates muscle contraction?
Voluntary muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system. The brain sends signals, in the form of action potentials, through the nervous system to the motor neuron that innervates several muscle fibers.Acetylcholine (ACh) is commonly secreted at neuromuscular junctions, the gaps between motor neurons and muscle cells, where it stimulates muscles to contract (by opening gated positive ion channels).
Is peristalsis is chemical change?
No. Peristalsis is a physical process in which the involuntary muscles of the digestive tract contract and move food along.
How does muscle work by shortening or lengthening?
Muscles are comprised of contractile proteins; therefore, the ability to contract is present in their chemical composition.
Can kittens get ammonia?
Ammonia is a chemical that can be found in a cat's urine. If you are asking if a kitten can get Pneumonia, then yes. Kitten's can contract pneumonia.
