What is the function of the neuromuscular junction is to?
Includes the axon terminal of a motor neuron plus the motor end plate of a muscle fiber. Is where the axons of motor nerves meet the muscle & transmit messages from the brain which cause the muscle to contract & relax.
What site where the motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the?
Neuromuscular junction
What happens when you hurt your foot in a track meet and you cant walk on it?
you have what is called nerve damage, i recently got it and it hurts.
Is one way to meet your fiber needs is to choose foods made from whole grains?
Yes, this is one way to meet fiber needs.
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).
The area where some fibers from the eye cross over to the opposite side is called the?
Each eye contains an optic nerve, as the meet at the optic chiasm, some of the nerve fibers cross over. This sensitive area is referred to as the optic nerve pathway crossover.
What has bands where different kinds of muscle proteins meet?
Striated muscle.
How does the nerve signal move through the neuron?
in transmitting a nerve signal such as from your hand to your brain, several neurons are involved. Nerve cells can receive and transmit signals.the dendrites of one neuron are close to the axon of another neuron. The point where neurons meet is called a synapse
What is the point where two nerve processes meet?
A synapse is the point at which two neurons meet.
Is fiber a material?
No. It doesn't meet the definitional requirements of a mineral. See link below.
Where do your esophagus and windpipe meet?
They meet at the epiglottis. The epiglottis is the flap of muscle that closes over your windpipe when you swallow food.
What would happen if a nerve fiber was stimulated from both ends simultaneously?
The neural activity progresses as if it were a wave (the effect moves but the nerve, of course does not). As the wave progresses it depolarizes the nerve surface, opens Na+ channels and activates the nerve surface as it goes forward. One effect of the firing however is that the Na+ channels inactivate and enter a refractory period in which they will not reopen. This essential drives the propagation wave in one direction only. If the nerve were to be simultaneously stimulated at both ends the two waves would meet and then activity would cease. Neither wave would be able to overcome the refractory membrane that the other wave had passed over.
