singleAnswer
acetylcholine ACh
Neuromuscular junction
neuromuscular junction
Neuromuscular junction Neuromuscular junction disease Neuromuscular-blocking drug Neuroeffector junction End-plate potential Acetylcholine Agrin Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor MuSK protein Acetylcholinesterase
A <b>neuromuscular junction</b> (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse formed 
by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. It is at the&nbsp;... <b>Neuromuscular junction</b> disease is a medical condition where the normal 
conduction through the <b>neuromuscular junction</b> fails to function correctly. Neuromuscular-blocking drugs block neuromuscular transmission at the 
<b>neuromuscular junction</b>, causing paralysis of the affected skeletal muscles. This 
is&nbsp;... Non-synaptic transmission is characteristic of autonomic neuroeffector junctions. 
The structure of the autonomic <b>neuromuscular junction</b> consists of several&nbsp;... The <b>neuromuscular junction</b> is the synapse that is formed between an alpha 
motor neuron (α-MN) and the skeletal muscle fiber. In order for a muscle to 
contract,&nbsp;... <b>Neuromuscular junction</b>[edit]. Muscles contract when they receive signals from 
motor neurons. The <b>neuromuscular junction</b> is the site of the signal exchange. Agrin is a large proteoglycan whose best-characterised role is in the 
development of the <b>neuromuscular junction</b> during embryogenesis. Agrin is 
named based&nbsp;... At the <b>neuromuscular junction</b> they are the primary receptor in muscle for motor 
nerve-muscle communication that controls muscle contraction. In the peripheral&nbsp;... MuSK (for Muscle-Specific Kinase) is a receptor tyrosine kinase required for the 
formation and maintenance of the <b>neuromuscular junction</b>. It is activated by a&nbsp;... AChE is found at mainly <b>neuromuscular junctions</b> and in chemical synapses of 
the cholinergic type, where its activity serves to terminate synaptic transmission.
