- name substance g
- name structure h chemically - gated channel
- name structure f junction folds
- what substance is degraded by enzymes soon after binding to h?
word bank
acetylcholine
acetylcholine
acetylcholine
action potential
axon - terminal (bouton)
ca2+
chemically - gated channel
influx of calcium ions
junctional folds
neuromuscular junction (motor end plate)
synaptic cleft
synaptic vesicle
voltage - gated calcium channel
Brief Explanations
- In a neuromuscular - junction, the fluid - filled space between the axon terminal and the muscle fiber is the synaptic cleft.
- Without further context in the image, it's hard to determine substance G precisely, but common substances in neuromuscular junctions include neurotransmitters like acetylcholine.
- A chemically - gated channel is correctly named as given in the answer.
- Junction folds are present on the muscle fiber side of the neuromuscular junction to increase the surface area for receptor binding.
- Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that binds to chemically - gated channels at the neuromuscular junction and is quickly degraded by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase.
