What else can I help you with?
What term is define as the site where two nerves come together?
The term synapse is the site where two nerves come together.
What position on the muscle cell where the nerve fibers connect?
The point where a nerve fiber connects to a muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction. This connection allows the nerve signal, or action potential, to be transmitted from the nerve to the muscle cell, triggering muscle contraction.
What is an axiscylinder?
An axiscylinder is another term for an axis cylinder, also known as an axon, a nerve fibre which is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, and which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of a cell to a synapse.
What is the term for termination of the nerve axon on the skeletal muscle fiber?
ganglionic synapse
This term refers to the impression that the audience receives of the speaker's character?
This term refers to the impression that the audience receives of the speaker's character.
What term refers to a neurotransmitter?
are endogenous chemicals which relay, amplify, and modulate signals between a neuron and another cell.[1] Neurotransmitters are packaged into synaptic vesicles that cluster beneath the membrane on the presynaptic side of a synapse, and are released into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors in the membrane on the postsynaptic side of the synapse. Release of neurotransmitters usually follows arrival of an action potential at the synapse, but may follow graded electrical potentials. Low level "baseline" release also occurs without electrical stimulation.
Who named synapse?
The term "synapse" was coined by the English physiologist Charles Scott Sherrington in 1897 to describe the junction between two neurons where electrical or chemical signals are transmitted.
What does the term load cell mean?
A load cell is a transducer which converts force into a measurable electrical output. Although there are many varieties of load cells, strain gage based load cells are the most commonly used type.
What is the term used to describe conversion of a chemical signal to a cellular response via a series of chemical reaction?
The term used to describe the conversion of a chemical signal to a cellular response via a series of chemical reactions is "signal transduction." This process involves a cascade of molecular events that relay the signal from the cell surface to the interior, ultimately leading to a specific cellular response. Signal transduction is crucial for cells to sense and respond to their environment.
What is the term for anyone who receives information?
reciever
What is synaptic fatigue?
Synaptic fatigue, or short-term synaptic depression, is an activity-dependent form of short-term plasticity that affects neuronal efficacy and results in the temporary inability to fire and therefore transmit an input signal. It is thought to be a form of negative feedback in order to physiologically control particular forms of nervous system activity.[1] Synaptic fatigue involves the temporary inhibition of neurons due to constant and persistent stimulation, where the fatigue effects are generally dependent upon the type and frequency of stimuli present. The underlying cause of fatigue on the synapse is temporary depletion of synaptic vesicles that house neurotransmitters in the presynaptic cell. The neurotransmitters are released to propagate the signal to the postsynaptic cell. It has also been hypothesized that synaptic fatigue could be a result of postsynaptic receptor desensitization or changes in postsynaptic passive conductance, but recent evidence has suggested that it is primarily a presynaptic phenomenon.
What do we call the connections between the nerve cells?
An axo-axonal synapse is what a connection specifically between one axon and another axon is called. The general term for a connection between neurons is SYNAPSE, and typically is between an axon and a dendrite.
