Biology
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago
5 0
<span>One important area of DNA research is that of genetics and medical research. Due to our discovery of DNA, our ability to actually diagnose diseases early on has been vastly improved. In addition, we have been able to better assess a person's genetic susceptibility to specific diseases. In doing so, we have also paved the pathway to formulate brand new drugs to treat these diseases. In fact, drugs can essentially be custom made to complement a person's personal biochemistry and genetic makeup. For those diseases that were previously considered lethal and where treatment was either non-existent or largely unsuccessful, the discovery of DNA has essentially led to breakthrough drugs and treatments for patients with serious illnesses.</span>

garri49 [273]

Answer:

myofibril bulbous end of axon and skeletal muscles fibres.

Explanation:o

It represents the  chemical synapse  of the axon bulbous ends  of the motor neuron ( motor end plate) and the skeletal Muscle fibres.

The influx of calcium ions into the bulbous ends leads to the fusion  and empty of the vesicles containing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.

The Neurotransmitters binds to the receptors on the muscles membrane to allow the transmission of action potential ( PSIP or  PSEP)across the synaptic gap  to the muscles fibers  to initiate  their  contraction or relaxation.
