Neurology 3D animation of how the neuromuscular junction functions.

In this animated object, learners examine the major events that occur at the neuromuscular junction. In this interactive object, learners identify a person's regional body parts. The purpose of this learning object is to introduce the dental hygienist to …

A neuromuscular junction is made up of a nerve terminal, which contains the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and a muscle fiber, which has receptors for acetylcholine. When an action potential reaches the nerve terminal, it causes the release of acetylcholine, which diffuses across the synapse and binds to receptors on the muscle fiber.

The term neuromuscular junction refers to a synapse between a motor neuron and muscle fiber; activity here is essential for muscle contraction and thus movem...
