What else can I help you with?
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.
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a synapse. In this gap, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
What is the space between the neuron and the muscle cell?
The neurons build our brain tissue, and our brain control our body. So the neurons are giving signals to the muscles and also receive signals for pain, hurt, pressure and etc.
What is the enzyme found in the synaptic space between a neuron and a muscle fiber that breaks down the excitatory neurotransmitter chemical that originally caused the muscle fiber to contract called?
acetylcholinesterase
What is the space between the sending and the receiving neuron called?
The space between the sending neuron's axon terminal and the receiving neuron's dendrite is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released into this space to transmit signals between neurons.
What is the difference between a motor unit and a motor neuron in the context of muscle movement?
A motor unit consists of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it controls. The motor neuron sends signals to the muscle fibers to contract, while the motor unit refers to the combination of the neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.
How is the neuron carried messages from another neuron if there is a space between them?
axon and sypanes
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.
Just what does pass from neuron to the muscle cells?
via chemicals called neurotransmitters, expressed at sites called synapses, which are tiny gaps between a neuron and another neuron or a muscle cell.
Into what does the neuron release its neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction?
The neuron releases its neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft at the neuromuscular junction, which is the gap between the neuron terminal and the muscle cell. This neurotransmitter then binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, triggering muscle contraction.
What is the space between two nerons that are connected is called?
The space between two connected neurons is called a synapse. This is where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to transmit signals to the next neuron.
What is The Intersection Between A Neuron And Another Neuron A Muscle A Gland Or A Sensory Receptor?
The intersection between a neuron and another neuron, a muscle, a gland, or a sensory receptor is called a synapse. At this junction, the transmitting neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the receiving cell, which can be another neuron, a muscle cell (causing contraction), a gland (triggering secretion), or a sensory receptor (initiating sensory processing). This communication is crucial for nervous system function, allowing for the integration of signals and responses throughout the body.
