Alpha-Motor neurons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at a synapse called the neuromuscular junction. When the acetylcholine binds to acetylcholine receptors on the muscle fiber, an action potential is propagated along the muscle fiber in both directions.

What neurotransmitter neuron to muscle cell?

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from neuron axon terminals and binds to nicotinic receptors on muscle cells, triggering muscle contraction.


A molecule that is released from synaptic vesicles and serves as the means of communication from one neuron to the next or from a neuron to an effector cell?

Neurotransmitter.


What are the synaptic events?

Synaptic events refer to the processes involved in communication between neurons at synapses. These events include neurotransmitter release from the presynaptic neuron, binding of neurotransmitters to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, and subsequent changes in the postsynaptic neuron's membrane potential. This can lead to excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron based on the type of neurotransmitter and receptors involved.


If an impulse down one neuron but failed to move on to the next neuron what is wrong with the first neuron?

It is possible that nothing is wrong with the first neuron and that the second neuron has been desensitized, or if it is the first neuron then vesicles are not fusing with the membrane and releasing neurotransmitters. This could be because a toxin has damaged the proteins that control vesicle integration, or because the calcium channels have been blocked, or in the lab setting the terminal may have run out of neurotransmitter.


What does the neurotransmitter bind to after it moves across the synaptic cleft?

The neurotransmitter binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's membrane. This binding triggers a series of events that can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron, ultimately influencing its activity.

Into what does the neuron release its neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction?

The neuron releases its neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft at the neuromuscular junction, which is the gap between the neuron terminal and the muscle cell. This neurotransmitter then binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, triggering muscle contraction.


What neurotransmitter does the adrenergic neuron produce?

What effect do neurotransmitter from one neuron have on the next neuron?

The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.


What is presynaptic inhibition and how does it regulate neurotransmitter release in the nervous system?

Presynaptic inhibition is a process in which the release of neurotransmitters from a neuron is reduced by another neuron. This regulation occurs when the inhibitory neuron releases a neurotransmitter that decreases the excitability of the presynaptic neuron, leading to a decrease in neurotransmitter release. This mechanism helps to fine-tune communication between neurons and maintain balance in the nervous system.


What carries a nerve impulse from one neuron to annother?

Neurotransmitter.


What is the name of the tiny gap the neurotransmitter has to diffuse across to reach the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron?

The tiny gap that the neurotransmitter has to diffuse across to reach the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron is called the synaptic cleft. It separates the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron from the dendrite of the postsynaptic neuron.


What neurotransmitter neuron to muscle cell?

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from neuron axon terminals and binds to nicotinic receptors on muscle cells, triggering muscle contraction.


When one neuron wants to stimulate another it will?

A neuron releases a chemical called a neurotransmitter that will signal other neurons.


If an impulse traveled down one neuron but failed to move on to the next neuron what happened to the first neuron?

Vesicle are not fusing with the membrane and releasing neurotransmitter.
