What else can I help you with?
What site where the motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the?
The site where a motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the motor neuron releases neurotransmitters that signal the muscle cell to contract.
A folded region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction?
The folded region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction is called the motor end plate. It is responsible for receiving signals from the motor neuron and initiating muscle contraction. The motor end plate is rich in acetylcholine receptors, which play a key role in neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction.
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.
The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?
Acetylcholine is the chemical that transmits signals across the neuromuscular junction. It binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction.
What travels from your brain to your skeletal muscle cells when you move?
When you decide to move, an electrical signal called an action potential is generated in your brain. This signal travels along your neurons and reaches the skeletal muscle cells via motor neurons. At the neuromuscular junction, a chemical called acetylcholine is released, which stimulates the muscle fibers to contract and initiate movement.
What is the point of contact between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle cell called?
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.
What is the site where the muscle fiber and nerve fiber meet called?
Well of course they meet at the neuromuscular junction
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 do motor neurons attach to?
neuromuscular junction
What site where the motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the?
The site where a motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the motor neuron releases neurotransmitters that signal the muscle cell to contract.
A folded region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction?
The folded region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction is called the motor end plate. It is responsible for receiving signals from the motor neuron and initiating muscle contraction. The motor end plate is rich in acetylcholine receptors, which play a key role in neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction.
The actual gap between an axon ending and the muscle cell is called what?
Neuromuscular junction.
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.
Gap between axon terminal and muscle cell?
The gap between the axon terminal and muscle cell is called the synaptic cleft. It is defined as the small gap, measured in nanometers, between an axon terminal and any of the cell membranes in the immediate vicinity.
The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?
Acetylcholine is the chemical that transmits signals across the neuromuscular junction. It binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction.
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
What is a sustained muscle contraction?
Occurs when acetylcholine (ACh) accumulates in the neuromuscular junction. It is called a tetanic contraction.
