What else can I help you with?
Name the neuromuscular transmitter that is released at the axon bulb?
The neurotransmitter released at the axon bulb is acetylcholine.
What secretes norepinephrine?
Norepinephrine is mainly secreted by the adrenal medulla and also by specific neuron terminals in the sympathetic nervous system. It acts as both a hormone (when released into the bloodstream) and a neurotransmitter (when released at synapses).
Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminal of a motor neuron contain what neurotransmitter?
Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters to be released into the synapses. In the case of most motoneurons, this neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (ACh). The neurons that interface with the sympathetic nervous system, also technically motoneurons, release norepinephrine.
What ion enters the axon nerve terminal to cause exocytosis of the neurotransmitter is called?
The ion that enters the axon nerve terminal to trigger neurotransmitter release is calcium (Ca2+). When an action potential reaches the nerve terminal, voltage-gated calcium channels open, allowing calcium ions to flow into the cell and initiate the process of exocytosis of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles.
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 is the substance released at axon terminals?
The substance that is released at an axonal ending to propagate the nerve impulse to the next nerve or muscle is called
What part of neuron releases neurotransmitter my choices are axon axon terminal dendrite myelin sheath or cell body?
The neurotransmitter is released from the axon terminal.
Name the neuromuscular transmitter that is released at the axon bulb?
The neurotransmitter released at the axon bulb is acetylcholine.
What is synaptic delay?
Synaptic delay is the period of time for neurotransmitter chemicals released from the axon terminus of the sending neuron to cross the synaptic gap by diffusion and attach to matching receptors on the receiving neuron, initiating a reaction (either stimulatory or inhibitory) in that neuron.
What do you call the chemical released by the axon that travels across a synapse and binds on the dendrites of the other neurons or body cells?
The chemical released by the axon that travels across a synapse and binds to dendrites or cells is called a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals between neurons and regulating various physiological processes in the body.
What reaches the end of the axon when the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses to the muscle membrane to combine with receptors there?
nerve impulse
When the blank reaches the ends of the axon the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses to the muscle cell membrane?
Synaptic vesicle
What is the process of a neurotransmitter being absorbed into the axon terminal?
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it triggers the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. Calcium ions enter the axon terminal, leading to the fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the synaptic membrane. The neurotransmitter is then released into the synaptic cleft where it can bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron.
Where is the point on axon that a signal can be transmitted?
Signals are transmitted along the axon at the axon terminals or synaptic boutons. These structures are located at the ends of axon branches and contain neurotransmitter-filled vesicles that are released into the synapse to communicate with neighboring cells.
What chemical is released into the gap?
neurotransmitter
What neurotransmitter neuron to muscle cell?
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from neuron axon terminals and binds to nicotinic receptors on muscle cells, triggering muscle contraction.
How do nerves impulse's across the synapse?
Most neurons have a chemical synapse, which is to say that a substance called a neurotransmitter is released from the first neuron (called pre-synaptic) to the next neuron called (post-synaptic). How is the release triggered? When an action potential reaches the terminus (end of the axon) there are specialized calcium channels that are opened (voltage-gated). The calcium bind so the inner membrane and triggers the release of small membrane bound vesicles which spill out their contents of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitter binds to specific receptors on the post-synaptic membrane and that causes the action potential to propagate on (or for the neurotransmitter to cause an action like a muscle contraction).
