What else can I help you with?
The two neurotransmitters that affect smooth muscle cells are acetylcholine and?
norepinephrine. Acetylcholine mainly causes smooth muscle contraction, while norepinephrine can either cause contraction or relaxation depending on the type of receptor it binds to on the smooth muscle cell.
What is the neurotransmitter in a somatic motor pathway?
The neurotransmitter in a somatic motor pathway is acetylcholine. It is released by motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle contraction.
What neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction. It is responsible for transmitting signals from motor neurons to muscle fibers, leading to muscle contraction.
Which neurotransmitter receptor is present on the sarcolemma?
Acetylcholine receptor is present on the sarcolemma of the muscle cells. This receptor is responsible for transmitting the signal to initiate muscle contraction when acetylcholine binds to it at the neuromuscular junction.
What is acetylecholine?
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps transmit electrical nervous impulses from one nerve to another. Commonly found when a nerve terminates in a muscle (the neuromuscular junction) to cause contraction.
What chemical stimulates muscle contraction?
acetylcholine (ACh)
Which muscle contraction does acetylcholine and norepinephrine affect?
Acetylcholine and norepinephrine both affect smooth muscle contraction. They stimulate contraction in some muscles and inhibits contraction in others.
What effect will organopesticides have on muscle tissue?
Organopesticides will increase the severity of muscle contraction beyond normal conditions. Acetylcholine esterase inhibition will allow a more than normal amount of acetylcholine to bind to receptors.
Where does the acetylcholine released for muscle contraction bind?
Sarcolema receptors
What is a sustained muscle contraction?
Occurs when acetylcholine (ACh) accumulates in the neuromuscular junction. It is called a tetanic contraction.
What neurotransmitter causes muscle movement?
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for muscle movement. It is released from motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle contraction.
Chemical released to stimulate muscle contraction?
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter released by motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle contraction. It binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, initiating a series of events that ultimately lead to muscle contraction.
The two neurotransmitters that affect smooth muscle cells are acetylcholine and?
norepinephrine. Acetylcholine mainly causes smooth muscle contraction, while norepinephrine can either cause contraction or relaxation depending on the type of receptor it binds to on the smooth muscle cell.
What does ach do at a neuromuscular junction?
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?
Acetylcholine is the chemical that transmits signals across the neuromuscular junction. It binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction.
What terminates a muscle contraction?
"A muscle cell remains contracted until the release of acetylcholine stops and an enzyme produced at the axon terminal destroys any remaining acetylcholine."
What is the neurotransmitter released at the motor end plate?
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter released at the motor end plate, where it binds to receptors on muscle cells to initiate muscle contraction.
