Motor neurons meet the muscle cells at neuromuscular junctions. Neurotransmitters are passed from the nerve across a synaptic cleft to the muscle to make it contract. Any damage to this nerve will mean that those cells will not contract (move).

What Neurotransmitter that activates skeletal muscle fibers?

Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that activates skeletal muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction. It plays a crucial role in transmitting signals from motor neurons to muscles, leading to muscle contraction.


What is a group of skeletal muscle fibers?

A skeletal muscle


Type of junction where a motor neuron and a skeleton muscle cell have contact?

Neuromuscular junction. It is the point of contact between the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle cell, where the motor neuron releases neurotransmitters that trigger muscle contraction.


The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a?

The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a neuromuscular junction. This junction allows for communication between the nervous system and the muscular system, facilitating muscle contraction in response to nerve impulses.


Where are ACh receptors found in the body?

At every junction between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers


Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?

Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.


What is the point of contact between motor neurons and a skeletal muscle cell?

A nueromusculator junction
