No, the impulse traveling down the axon ends at the axon terminal but causes the axon terminal to release neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft causing the sarcolemma of the muscle to initiate its own impulse.
Well of course they meet at the neuromuscular junction
"Botox" is actually a poison. It prevents muscle movement by preventing the nerve impulse to travel from the neuron across the neuromuscular junction and prevents the muscle from contracting. It is the toxin produced by the microbe that causes botulism.
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
The axon terminals of a nerve cell and the sarcolemma of a skeletal muscle cell join at the neuromuscular junction. This is where the nerve impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, which initiate muscle contraction by binding to receptors on the sarcolemma.
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
Neuromuscular Junction
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 where a nerve fiber connects to a muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction. This connection allows the nerve signal, or action potential, to be transmitted from the nerve to the muscle cell, triggering muscle contraction.
Spasm
The nervous system and the muscular system are connected by the neuromuscular junction. The connection is done with synapses between nerve and muscle fibers.
neuromuscular junction
This point is often called the neuromuscular junction or motor end plate. ?The neurotransmitter used here is acetylcholine.Many diseases occur with dysfunction at this junction, like Myesthenia Gravis, botulism, or Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.
