What part of nerve cell is adjacent to neuromuscular junction?
The axon terminal of a nerve cell is adjacent to the neuromuscular junction. The axon terminal releases neurotransmitters that transmit signals across the synapse to the muscle fiber. This signal triggers muscle contraction.
What are functions of synaptic junction?
To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
What is the name of the site close juxtaposition of an axon terminal with the muscle cell plasmalemma?
the motor end-plate
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
What is the meaning of axon knob?
The axon knob, also known as the presynaptic terminal, is the end of the axon of a neuron that forms a synapse with another neuron or a muscle or gland cell. It stores and releases neurotransmitters to communicate signals to the target cell.
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a?
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
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."
The actual gap between an axon ending and the muscle cell is called what?
Neuromuscular junction.
The space between the tip of the axon and the next structure?
The space between the tip of the axon and the next structure is called the synaptic cleft. This is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the next structure, which can be another neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. This communication between neurons at the synaptic cleft is essential for transmitting signals in the nervous system.
What is an axon-terminal?
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.
What is the place where an axon terminal meets another cell?
"synapse"
