The synapse, or connection, between a neuron and striated muscle is typically a chemical one called the neuromuscular junction. The pre-synaptic terminus coming from the neuron releases acetylcholine (ACh) which triggers an opening of the ionic channels on the muscle side. The depolarization triggers calcium entry into the cytosol of the muscle and contraction.
the axon
Myelin sheath. It is a fatty layer that surrounds the axon of a neuron and helps to speed up the transmission of electrical impulses along the neuron.
Yes, neurons transfer information in the form of electrical impulses called action potentials. These impulses travel along the neuron's axon to transmit information between neurons.
In a neuron, impulses move through electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials are generated when a neuron receives enough stimulation to reach a threshold, causing a rapid change in membrane potential. The action potential then travels down the length of the neuron's axon until it reaches the next neuron or target cell.
A neuron turns electrical impulses into chemical signals called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are released from one neuron and travel across a synapse to the next neuron, where they trigger a new electrical signal.
Muscle tissue cannot conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to the other. Moreover, skeletal muscle tissue cannot even pass impulses between themselves and they should be stimulated by single branches of neurons. However, cardiac muscle cells has the unique ability to conduct impulses between themselves through gap junctions.
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
