The myoneural junction, also known as the neuromuscular junction, is the synapse or connection point between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber. Its primary function is to transmit signals from the nervous system to the muscle, facilitating muscle contraction. When an electrical impulse reaches the junction, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, which bind to receptors on the muscle fiber, leading to depolarization and subsequent contraction. This process is essential for voluntary movement and muscle coordination.

What does the term myoneural mean?
The term "myoneural" refers to the junction or relationship between muscle (myo) and nerve (neural) tissues. It typically describes the neuromuscular junction, where motor neurons communicate with muscle fibers to initiate contraction. This interaction is crucial for voluntary movement and muscle function.
Where are neurotransmitters that cause skeletal muscle contraction are stored?
In the myoneural junction.
Where are neurotransmitters that cause skeletal muscle contraction normally stored?
In the myoneural junction.
Neuromuscular junction is also known as the what?
The NMJ is the region where the efferent motor nerves connect with muscle tissue. When a signal is sent from the brain, down the spinal cord, to the nerve, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft (primary acetylcholine), which cause the muscle to contract.
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
When was Function at the Junction created?
Function at the Junction was created in 1977-05.
What are the ratings and certificates for Function at the Junction - 2002?
Function at the Junction - 2002 is rated/received certificates of: UK:Approved (video rating)

Is there a song called conjunction function?
I think your thinking of conjuction junction. From school house rock. "Conjuction junction. whats your function?"
What rhymes with junction?
Function, dysfunction, conjuction
