Why is that electrical impulses cannot pass from neuron to muscle cell?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The synapse, or connection, between a neuron and striated muscle is typically a chemical one called the neuromuscular junction. The pre-synaptic terminus coming from the neuron releases acetylcholine (ACh) which triggers an opening of the ionic channels on the muscle side. The depolarization triggers calcium entry into the cytosol of the muscle and contraction.

What does communication in the nervous system depend on which are electrical impulses that travel from neuron to neuron?
action potentials
What part of the neuron conveys electrical impulses from its start to its end?
the axon
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
What organs are associated with the neuron cell?
A neuron is basically associated with pretty much everything, as the neuron is in the brain and it is a nerve cell so it is what carries the electrical impulses like pain and the feeling sensation.
Why is it that the electrical impulse cannot pass from neuron the muscle cell?
There is a space (synapsis) between the neuron and the muscle cell. The electrical impulse can not pass over that. Chemical neurotransmitters are manufactured by neurons in the soma, then stored in little bundles called synaptic vesicles and transferred to the synapses. The release of the neurotransmitter is required for a nerve to simulate the muscle. This is what crosses the space.
What is a motor neuron attached to?
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
What message does neuron carry?
Electrical impulses.
Does muscle tissue conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to another and coordinates body activity?
Muscle tissue cannot conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to the other. Moreover, skeletal muscle tissue cannot even pass impulses between themselves and they should be stimulated by single branches of neurons. However, cardiac muscle cells has the unique ability to conduct impulses between themselves through gap junctions.
What part of the motor neuron carries impulses to the muscle?
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
What does communication in the nervous system depend on which are electrical impulses that travel from neuron to neuron?
action potentials
What muscle or gland cell receives nerve impulses?
I believe it is the Neuron?
What part of the neuron conveys electrical impulses from its start to its end?
the axon
Neurons that conduct impulses away from the CNS to muscle and glands?
Efferent neuron
What neuron conducts impulses away from the cns to muscle glands?
Motor neurons
What are nerve cells specialized to receive and conduct electrical impulses?
Neurons transmit nerve impulses/ electric impulses throughout the body.
What is the neuron that carries impulses to the nervous cell body is called what?
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.
What neuron moves the impulses to the brain?
The brain is the control, and the whole reaction of a reflex arc starts with a stimulus, ie, touching a hot flame, the detector of this stimulus being the receptor. The electrical impulses travel through the sensory neuron to which it is then carried to the synapse (impulses reach the brain) the energy is then transferred across the synapse, to the relay neuron and then to the motor neuron, finally reaching the effector, (mainly muscle or gland) to move away the body part.
