What else can I help you with?
Substance released at axonal endings to stimulate a nervous impulse is?
a neurotransmitter
Which structure contains vesicles with acetylcholine?
Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminals of neurons contain acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is released from these vesicles into the synaptic cleft to transmit signals to target cells or other neurons.
Where is neurotransmitter stored?
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the terminals of presynaptic neurons. When an action potential reaches the terminal, these vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to facilitate communication between neurons.
Are neurotransmitters stored within motor neuron endings?
No, neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles within motor neuron endings. When an action potential travels down the neuron, these vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to transmit signals to target cells.
What chemical is released when the nerve impulses reaches the nerve endings?
Acetylcholine is NOT the only chemical transmitter released by nerve endings. There are literally dozens. Ach is only the first discovered. Others include: glutamate, aspartate, serine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glycine,dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine (adrenaline), histamine, serotonin, melatonin, adenosine, anandamide, True ACh was discovered first and is not the only neurotransmitter released, BUT Acetylcholine is basically the one of most important in producing an impulse.
What is the neurotransmitter that is released into the synaptic cleft?
Vesicles containing the neurotransmitters are caused to fuse with the neuron's cell membrane, which thereby presents the neurotransmitters to the outside of the neuron, into the synapse.As I'm sure you know a neurotransmitter is how two neurons communicate at a synapse. It can be one of many molecules, often nor-epinephrine/nor-adrenaline. Neurotransmitters are stored in structures called vesicles in a bulb at the end of the axon the presynaptic neuron. These vesicles are like balloons containing the neurotransmitters, what would be the rubber of the balloon is actually made of the same plasma membrane that surrounds the rest of the cell. When the Action Potential (AP) coming down the axon gets to the bulb it causes Ca ion channels to open. These channels are membrane bound proteins ant act as voltage gated channels in the same way the Sodium ion channels in the axon do. The opening of these channels allows calcium entry into the cells. There are another class of membrane bound proteins that are important here, the Docking proteins. Ca ions activate the docking proteins by binding to them. What these proteins do is effectively grab the vesicles, containing the neurotransmitter, and make the membrane merge with the cells membrane. This is exactly like the opposite of phagocytosis, the cell then secretes the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.The neurotransmitter must then & isreleased from the receptor site, in order to prevent continuing and constant over-stimulation of the post-synaptic neuron. It can be carried back to the presynaptic neuron for either repackaging into vesicles or broken down there by enzymes, or some neuropeptide neurotransmitters simply diffuse away into the surrounding medium, and one (acetylcholine) is broken down right in the synaptic cleft.
Is acetylcholine the substance released by axonal endings of the somatic efferent fibers and by the parasympathetic nerve fiber endings?
Yes, it does. In contrast, the sympathetic nerves release adrenaline
Select the option that lists the steps of normal nerve function in the correct order?
ACh is produced at the intercellular level and is stored in vesicles at nerve endings. nerve endings release ACh ACh attavhes to the receptor site at the receiving nerve ACh is broken down by AChE to prevent accumulation
How does the botulinum toxin act in humans?
Botulinum toxin latches onto specific proteins in nerve endings and irreversibly destroys them. These proteins control the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle cells.
How many wed endings are there?
How many wed endings are there?
When was Alternate Endings created?
Alternate Endings was created in 2004.
