What else can I help you with?
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?
Which type of membrane junction is an example of a tight junction?
Junctions among epithelial cells lining the digestive tract.
What type of membrane junction is a example of tight junction?
Junctions among epithelial cells lining the digestive tract.
What type of membrane junction allows ions to pass directly from cell to cell?
Gap junctions
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
At the neuromuscular junction the muscle fiber membrane is folded to form?
motor end plate
At the neuromuscular junction, the muscle contraction initiation event is?
binding of acetylcholine to membrane receptors on the sarcolemma
What two structures approach each other at a neuromuscular junction?
At a neuromuscular junction, the motor neuron terminal and the muscle fiber membrane (sarcolemma) approach each other. The motor neuron releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which binds to receptors on the muscle fiber membrane, initiating muscle contraction.
What special membrane bounds together the actin filaments and serves as boundaries for one sarcomere unit?
neuromuscular junction
What is the neurotransmitter used at the neuro muscular junction is?
The neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction is acetylcholine. It is released from the motor neuron terminals and binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction.
What type of cellular junction that forms when a channel is formed between two adjacent plasma membrane?
A gap junction forms when a channel is created between two adjacent plasma membranes. This type of cellular junction allows for direct communication and passage of small molecules between the two cells.
What is the chemical used at the junction with a skeletal muscle?
The chemical used at the junction with a skeletal muscle is acetylcholine (ACh). It is released from the motor neuron at the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors on the muscle fiber's membrane, triggering muscle contraction. This process is essential for voluntary movement and is part of the overall neuromuscular signaling mechanism.
