What is the correct order of a signal being transmitted across a neuromuscular junction?

Biology
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:The correct order is:

Ion channels - synaptic vesicle - neurotransmitter - end plate potential.

Explanation: A neuromuscular junction is the point where a motor neuron meets with a skeletal muscle fiber which it innervates.

It is the site where a chemical interaction or communication between a motor neuron and a muscle cell occurs. For transmission of impulses to occur between a neuron and a muscle cell, an action potential from the motor neuron travels along the axon of the neuron to the presynaptic terminal of the neuron where it activates voltage gated calcium ion channels which causes the influx of calcium ions into the intracellular space of the neuron. The calcium ions bind to the sensor proteins that are located on the synaptic vesicles and trigger the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitter moves from the synaptic cleft and binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the muscle cell. The binding of the neurotransmitter to its receptors creates end plate potential which causes the skeletal muscle fibers to depolarise.

Light stimuli entering the eye encounter a series of structures while traveling to the brain. Place the structures in the correc
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is "1. cornea 2. retina 3. rods and cones 4. ganglion cells

5. optic nerve 6. thalamus 7. primary visual cortex"

Explanation:

Light must pass a series of structures for the brain being able to interpret the data that comes from the eyes. The order that light stimuli travels from the eye to the brain is as follows:

1. cornea

2. retina

3. rods and cones

4. ganglion cells

5. optic nerve

6. thalamus

7. primary visual cortex

Light enters trough the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye that covers two-thirds of its total optical power; then it goes to the retina which receives the image that could go to the rods or the cones (depending if the light is at low or high levels, respectively). Then, ganglion cells increase the rate of the impulse within the optic nerve, and finally thalamus passes the sensory signal to the primary visual cortex. In this area of the brain, the basic visual features are extracted and interpreted.
