Alzheimer’s which is mental deterioration and loss of memory. Disorders stemming from the nervous system can be severe. A few disorders that deal with movement and muscles are Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease)‚ Myasthenia gravis‚ and as said before Parkinson’s. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. A small percentage of this disease is known to be caused by genetic defect but

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
