Anatomy Part #1

(Neuromuscular Junction)(Major Muscle)(Skeletal Muscle)

Muscle fiber (red)

elongated multi nucleate cell; has a banded (striated) appearance

Endomysium (between fibers) #6

Individual muscle fiber is surrounded by a fine sheath of connective tissue consisting of areolar and reticular fibers.

Fascicle (purple)

bundle of muscle cells, segregated from the rest of the muscle by a connective tissue sheath (perimysium)

Perimysium #2

Surrounding each fascicle is a layer of fibrous connective tissue

Epimysium #3

An “overcoat“ of dense irregular connective tissue surrounds the whole muscle.

1st Event at the NMJ?

**AP travels the link down the neuron to the axon terminal.**

NMJ Step 2:

**Voltage-gated calcium channels open and calcium ions diffuse into the terminal.**

NMJ Step 3:

**Calcium entry causes synaptic vesicles to release acetylcholine via exocytosis**

NMJ Step 4:

**AcH diffuses across the synaptic cleft and vines to the AcH receptors which contain Ligand-gated cation channels**

NMJ Step 5:

**These ligand-gated cation channels open**

NMJ Step 6:

**Sodium ions enter the muscle fiber potassium ions exit the muscle fiber. The greater end of flux causes the membrane potential to become less negative.**

NMJ Step 7:

Once the membrane potential reaches its threshold value an Action potential (AP )propagates against the sarcolemma
