The Neuromuscular Junction by: Dominique Latham 651 words A neuromuscular junction is a place in the body where the axons of motor nerves meet the muscle‚ thus transmitting messages from the brain which cause the muscle to contract and relax. Every organism has thousands of neuromuscular joints which are the locations and means by which the motor neuron of the nervous system that instructs the muscle cells of the muscular systems to take action. Action that ‚ in turn lead to movements of muscles

Exocytosis and the Neuromuscular Junction: How Does Botox Work? Exocytosis is the process in which secretory vesicles are exported out of the cell membrane. These vesicles contain proteins which are then transported to parts outside the cell (Wilfred D. Stein‚ 2012). Neurotransmitters are released during this process into the synaptic cleft. These transmitters attract other transmitters to muscle membrane infoldings‚ which are called junction folds (Etherington & Hong‚ 2011). They diffuse across

Bipolar junction Transistors 1. Introduction The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is one of the most important solid-state devices. It is a two-junction‚ three-terminal device‚ in which the current flow properties of one p-n junction can be modulated by another p-n junction. The structure can be either p-n-p or n-p-n. The three terminals are called emitter‚ base and collector. The circuit symbols of the two types of BJT are shown in Fig.1. The arrow on the emitter signifies the direction of
