excitatory neuromuscular junction

Term Information

Accession
GO:0098520
Name
excitatory neuromuscular junction
Ontology
cellular_component
Synonyms
None
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The junction between the axon of a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. In response to the arrival of action potentials, the presynaptic button releases molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane of the muscle fiber, leading to a post-synaptic potential responsible for muscle contraction. Source: GOC:dos
