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.
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.
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.
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.
Why is it that the electrical impulse cannot pass from neuron the muscle cell?
There is a space (synapsis) between the neuron and the muscle cell. The electrical impulse can not pass over that. Chemical neurotransmitters are manufactured by neurons in the soma, then stored in little bundles called synaptic vesicles and transferred to the synapses. The release of the neurotransmitter is required for a nerve to simulate the muscle. This is what crosses the space.

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.
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.
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.
When a neuron transfers an impulse to another neuron or to a muscle cell what is that location that receives the impulse called synapse dendrite receptor NextReset?
The location where a neuron transfers an impulse to another neuron or to a muscle cell is called a synapse. At the synapse, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron or muscle cell, facilitating the transmission of the signal. This process is crucial for communication within the nervous system and between nerves and muscles.
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.
Which of these junctions represents the connection between the tip of a neuron and a skeletal muscle cell from which Acetylcholine diffuses?
Neuromuscular

Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
A synapse is the space between what?
Usually from the axon of one nerve to the dendrite of another. The axon sends impulses away from the nerve body, and the dendrite receives impulses from other nerves.
What is a description of synapses?
A synapse is the connection between neurons, allowing them to pass signals between each other. A synapse may also be between a neuron and a non-neuron cell, such as a muscle cell, to trigger a reaction.Helping to send messages to and from the brain.
