The neuromuscular junction is a specialized synapse where motor neurons communicate with skeletal muscle fibers, facilitating muscle contraction. When a motor neuron releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, it binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, triggering an electrical impulse that leads to muscle contraction. This junction is crucial for voluntary movement and coordination, enabling the nervous system to control muscle activity.
What else can I help you with?
What is the site where the muscle fiber and nerve fiber meet called?
Well of course they meet at the neuromuscular junction
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.
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 does ach do at a neuromuscular junction?
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
Which neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?
ACETYLCHOLINE
What does the neuromuscular junction connect to?
The nervous system and the muscular system are connected by the neuromuscular junction. The connection is done with synapses between nerve and muscle fibers.
Which of the following is not a neuron-neuron synapse?
neuromuscular junction
The muscle-nerve interaction site?
Neuromuscular Junction
What structures meet at neuromuscular junction?
An axon and the sarcolemma.
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.
What is the narrow space that separates the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fiber in a neuromuscular junction called?
Neuromuscular junction or neuromuscular synapse
