Answer:

When an axon (nerve) damage or destruction occurs due to injury, it will increase the sensitivity to neurotransmitter by post-synaptic muscle membrane and this process is called the denervation super-sensitivity.

Explanation:

Basically, motor neurons releases and regulates a neurotransmitter acetylcholine at neuormuscular junction for sensitivity of the muscles. But when a nerve injured it will increase the sensitivity of muscle fiber to neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Means, after injury of nerve the muscle fiber become supersensitive to acetylcholine.

How do living things control the movement of materials into and out of cells?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Diffusion, osmosis and active transport are three similar chemical methods by which single molecules or very small structures are moved across membranes or relatively short distances, often within or between cells.

Explanation:

The movement of substances in and out of cells is a very important part of biology as without it no cell and so no organism could live very long. Substances can only cross the protective cell membrane by diffusion, osmosis or active transport. Mass flow only works at the organ, tissue and whole organism level.
