...A neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the synapse or junction of the axon terminal of a motoneuron with the motor end plate, the highly-excitable region of muscle fiber plasma membrane responsible for initiation of action potentials across the muscle's surface, ultimately causing the muscle to contract. In vertebrates, the signal passes through the neuromuscular junction via the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Read full entry

Does anyone know the Personally I don't find my
dental bite cosmetically
appealing. I've had braces
before and my teeth are pretty
straight, but my bite can use
some improvement. It seems
like a slight overbite to me.
However, I don't know what
specialist I should go to.
Would neuromuscular dentistry
be the solution to my problem
or oral & maxillofacial
surgery? If you would like to
see pictures, let me know.

How do i test a new channel If a new calcium channel is
discovered in the
neuromuscular junction. I want
to test whether it is involved
in neuromuscular junction
formation or activity.

Acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter that is released from the presynaptic neuron. ACh then crosses the synapse onto Cholinergic Receptors located on the postsynaptic neuron. At which point, a polarization is created that opens the calcium channles and allows for the endoplasmic reticulums to release more Ca++ for contraction. To test this new formation, simply use various neurotransmitters to issue a particular response. If you add Dopamine and no reaction occurs but degradation, then you know that this is not the right channel. But, if you add ACh and it begins the polarization process, then you know. |

Ask your physician for names of doctors he or she is associated with and then set up interviews with them. Be sure you have questions or concerns about their experience and the way they conduct business and their associations with hospitals in their area. It is difficult at best. Trust your intuition but be informed about your condition. There is plenty of info on the internet. |
