What components of nerves are involved in skeletal muscle movement?
The motor neurons are responsible in skeletal muscle movement.
What is the relationship between the number of motor neurons recruited and the number of skeletal muscle fibers innervated?
Typically, hundreds of skeletal muscle fibers are innervated by a single motor neuron.Completed
2 cell populations that do not divide?
Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and mature neurons.
At what junction do nerves contact skeletal muscle fibers?
Motor neurons meet the muscle cells at neuromuscular junctions. Neurotransmitters are passed from the nerve across a synaptic cleft to the muscle to make it contract. Any damage to this nerve will mean that those cells will not contract (move).
What is the substance used by motor neurons to transmit stimuli to skeletal muscle?
norepinephrine
What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.
Where do nerve impulses first stimulate a skeletal muscle fiber?
The motor nerve cells control the skeletal muscle
What type of excitatory neurotransmitter is secreted by motor neurons innervating skeletal muscle?
Acetylcholine is the excitatory neurotransmitter released by neurons innervating skeletal muscles. Acetylcholine release stimulates muscle contraction by acting at the nicotinic-acetylcholine receptor on the surface of the muscle cell.
What is the functional connection between neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber?
The neurons build our brain tissue, and our brain control our body. So the neurons are giving signals to the muscles and also receive signals for pain, hurt, pressure and etc.
What travels from your brain to your skeletal muscle cells when you move?
When you decide to move, an electrical signal called an action potential is generated in your brain. This signal travels along your neurons and reaches the skeletal muscle cells via motor neurons. At the neuromuscular junction, a chemical called acetylcholine is released, which stimulates the muscle fibers to contract and initiate movement.
What is the relationship between skeletal muscle and voluntary muscle?
They are one and the same.
Type of muscle that is voluntary and striated?
SKELETAL (:
