The sites where a chemical substance is transmitted from the presynaptic terminal of an axon to the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber are called?
The sites where a chemical substance is transmitted from the presynaptic terminal of an axon to the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber are called neuromuscular junctions. At these junctions, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from the presynaptic terminal and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, initiating muscle contraction.
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
Are cell junctions found between plant cells only?
No, cell junctions are also found between animal cells. In plants, cell junctions are called plasmodesmata, while in animals they are called tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes. These structures facilitate cell-to-cell communication and adhesion.
What is a group that is closer together than the surrounding stars is called an?
A group of stars that are closer together than the surrounding stars is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be divided into two main types: open clusters and globular clusters, with open clusters being more loosely bound than globular clusters.
The urinary bladder is protected from leaking due to cell-to-cell junctions called?
The urinary bladder is protected from leaking due to tight junctions between epithelial cells. These tight junctions create a barrier that prevents the passage of substances between cells, helping to maintain the integrity of the bladder wall and prevent leakage of urine.

The sites where a chemical substance is transmitted from the presynaptic terminal of an axon to the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber are called neuromuscular junctions. At these junctions, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from the presynaptic terminal and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, initiating muscle contraction.
Gap between axon terminal and muscle cell?
The gap between the axon terminal and muscle cell is called the synaptic cleft. It is defined as the small gap, measured in nanometers, between an axon terminal and any of the cell membranes in the immediate vicinity.
Name the site of close juxtaposition of an end terminal and the sarcolemma of a muscle cell?
It is called the neuromuscular junction.
The tiny space between the axon terminal and the dendrite of another neuron is called the?
Synaptic Cleft.
What is the ability of a muscle to respond to nerve stimulus called?
neuromuscular efficiency neuromuscular efficiency
How are the plasmodesmata of plant cells and commicating junctions of animal cell similar in function?
Cell junctions in plants are called Plasmodesmata while communicating junctions in animal cells are gap junctions
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural 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
What is the site where the muscle fiber and nerve fiber meet called?
Well of course they meet at the neuromuscular junction
Are cell junctions found between plant cells only?
No, cell junctions are also found between animal cells. In plants, cell junctions are called plasmodesmata, while in animals they are called tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes. These structures facilitate cell-to-cell communication and adhesion.
What are the spherical groups of millions of stars found in the milky way called?
Those are called globular clusters, or star clusters.
When several clusters are used to hold a single file what is this group of clusters called?
a chain
