Neuroeffector Junction:

Terms Related to Neuroeffector Junction

• Synaptic Potentials

  The communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. In chemical synaptic transmission, the presynaptic neuron releases a ...

• Neuromuscular Junctions

  The synapse between a neuron and a muscle.

• Nerve Ending

  Specialized terminations of peripheral neurons. Nerve endings include NEUROEFFECTOR JUNCTION(s) by which neurons activate target organs and sensory receptors (see RECEPTORS, SENSORY) which transduce information ...

• Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential

  The change in potential produced in the membrane of the next neuron when an impulse which has an excitatory influence arrives at the synapse; it ...

• Neuron Glia Cell Adhesion Molecules

  Cell adhesion molecules that mediate neuron-neuron adhesion and neuron-astrocyte adhesion. They are expressed on neurons and Schwann cells, but not astrocytes and are involved in ...
