What is the point of contact between motor neurons and a skeletal muscle cell?
A nueromusculator junction
What neurotransmitter stimulates skeletal muscle contractions?
Acetylcholine
What location does a neuron transfer an impulse to another cell?
It depends on what the next structure is. If it is another neurone, then it is a synapse. If it is skeletal muscle, then the it is a neuromuscular junction. If it is any other type of muscle, then it is a myoneural junction.
What is the term for termination of the nerve axon on the skeletal muscle fiber?
ganglionic synapse
What Neurotransmitter that activates skeletal muscle fibers?
Acetal Choline (ACh)
What Neurotransmitter diffuses across a synapse to a muscle cell?
It varies: In the somatic system (skeletal muscle) and parasympathetic branch of the autonomous nervous system (smooth & cardiac muscle) it is usually acetylcholine. In the sympathetic branch of the autonomous nervous system (smooth & cardiac muscle) it is usually norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline). There are exceptions, but this is the general rule.
What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.
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 neurotransmitter of the motor neuron?
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 is the neurotransmitter of alpha-motor neuron?
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 is the location of the vesicles that store neurotransmitter?
Synapses are located throughout the nervous system. A synapse is a sort of 'relay station' where a message, in the form a a chemical neurotransmitter, is passed on between one neuron (nerve fibre) & the next, or between a neuron & the muscle or gland the message is aimed at.
What kind of stimulus (electrical or chemical) travels from the motor neuron to skeletal muscle?
This is done through a neurotransmitter. So the answer is chemical.
