The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the specialised synapse that facilitates communication between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibres, orchestrating voluntary movement. Recent research ...

The Journal of Biophysical and Biochemical Cytology, Vol. 10, No. 4, Part 2: Supplement: The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (Aug., 1961), pp. 111-121 (11 pages) The extrinsic eye muscles of the killifish (F.

It is important to understand the principles of normal neuromuscular transmission when using neuromuscular blocking agents. The neuromuscular junction consists of the motor-nerve terminus, the ...

The neuromuscular junction - where nerves and muscle fibers meet - is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement. Improper function of these junctions can lead to the development of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Neuromuscular junctions of the frog, Rana pipiens, were examined for structural modifications produced by exposure to increased and reduced ...

A skeletal muscle isn’t much use without a signal telling it to move. In vertebrates, this signaling happens at the neuromus-cular junction (NMJ), a synaptic connection between motor neurons and ...

James F. Howard Jr, MD, professor of neurology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explains how nerve and muscle signaling in the neuromuscular junction go awry in myasthenia gravis.

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMSs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect the safety margin of neuromuscular transmission — the depolarization that is required for propagation of the ...

The muscles of the body move because of signals sent by the nervous system, which also takes in sensory information and relays it to the brain. Muscle and nerve cells meet at the neuromuscular ...

Frog neuromuscular junction fly-through. Shown in red is a large muscle fiber (diameter 50 micrometers) that is innervated by a myelinated axon colored in white. The interface between muscle and axon ...
