Objectives:
• Describe a motor unit and how it is involved in skeletal muscle contraction.
• Describe the attachments of muscles and how this affects muscle action.
• Define the actions of muscles.
• Describe the roles a muscle can play.
• Understand that the same muscle can have different actions and roles.
A nerve cells innervates from the distal end of a muscle so as to innervate the entire area of the muscle.
Responda
True
False
Questão 4
Questão
Choose the correct statements about the NMJ.
Responda
The axon coming to the NMJ is commonly unmyelinated.
The NMJ can have multiple motor end plates.
The synaptic cleft utilises chemical transmission methods.
A NMJ endplate always situates beside the nucleus of the myocite.

Questão 6
Questão
Choose the correct components of the motor unit:
Responda
Motor neuron and the muscle it innervates
Motor neuron
Motor neuron, and all the muscles it innervates
Questão 7
Questão
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disease which blocks the ACh receptors, meaning signals from the motor neuron do not reach the NMJ and muscle.
Responda
True
False
