- A nerve conduction velocity test measures nerve conduction velocity. In this test, an electrical stimulus is applied to a peripheral nerve and the length of time it takes for the corresponding muscle to contract is measured. Because the length of the nerve from stimulus point to muscle and the time it takes for the muscle to contract are both known, NCV can be calculated. This test result is helpful in distinguishing between different types of pathologies. For example, a patient with muscle weakness is being tested by a physician. There are three possible sources of the weakness: Disease of the muscle itself such as muscular dystrophy. In this condition, normal muscle tissue is replaced by adipose tissue and the muscle becomes incapable of contraction. Disease at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) such as myasthenia gravis. This condition is described in the Skeletal Muscle Histology exercise and results from damage to the acetylcholine receptors on the muscle end plate. Disease…arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by poisoning blocks neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction because (a) ACh is no longer released by the presynaptic terminal, (b) ACh synthesis in the presynaptic terminal is blocked, (c) ACh is not degraded, hence prolonged depolarization is enforced onthe postsynaptic cell, (d) ACh is blocked from attaching to the postsynaptic ACh receptors.arrow_forwardIn Neurology, please explain the relationship between suprathreshold depolarization and induced electrical neuro transmission.

- Order the steps of the neuromuscular junction transmission using the following images. Then, usethe to describe what is happening in the step. Neuromuscular Junction Transmission - Contraction 1. Action potential travels from motor neuron cell body along the myelinated axon to neuromuscular junction. 2. Acetylcholine (ACh) is released from axon (neuron), crosses synapse (space between axon and sarcolemma).ACh binds to ACh receptors (channel) in sarcolemma. 3.ACh channels open. Ions (like sodium, Na+) flow into sarcolemma.Action potential spreads in sarcolemma and into transverse tubules. 4. Action potential causes the release of calcium (Ca2+) from sarcoplasmic reticulum into sarcoplasm 5.Ca2+ goes to the troponin, which moves the tropomyosin away from actin 6. Myosin head breaks down ATP, causing the sliding filament mechanism to shorten sarcomereMuscle contractsarrow_forwardBinding of neurotransmitter to the motor end plate leads to depolarization because the neurotransmitter: a) opens ligand-gated sodium channels. b) opens voltage-gated sodium channels. c) opens ligand-gated potassium channels. d) opens voltage-gated potassium channels.arrow_forwardIdentify the important physiological structures involved in action potential; then, explain in detail how one nerve action potential causes one muscle action potential.arrow_forward

- Clostridium botulinum is a bacteria that produces a toxin. The toxin is deadly to most animals, because it prevents vesicle movement inside the axons of motor neurons. If a person were to consume food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which of the following would most likely occur? flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to conduct action potentials along their axons. spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would release too much acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiber spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would conduct too many action potentials along their axons. flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to release acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiberarrow_forwardDemyelination is the loss of myelin from neurones that are normally myelinated. Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which demyelination occurs in neurones involved in coordinating muscle movement. Using your knowledge of nerve impulse generation and propagation, explain how nerve impulse generation and propagation would be affected in people who have multiple sclerosis. The explanation needs to be in the form of a step by step sequence of annotated drawings. This could be in the form of an annotated cartoon/picture strip. Compare this to nerve impulse generation and propagation in an individual who does not have multiple sclerosis.arrow_forwardTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation causes an involuntary motor output in response to a magnetic stimulation over the skull.
