Neuromuscular Junction - Part 1
Offered By: Dr. Najeeb Lectures via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intricacies of the neuromuscular junction in this comprehensive lecture by Dr. Najeeb. Delve into the structure and function of this crucial chemical synapse between motor neurons and muscle fibers. Learn about the process of synaptic transmission, including the role of calcium ions, synaptic vesicles, and neurotransmitters like acetylcholine. Understand how action potentials trigger muscle contractions through the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Discover the importance of neuromuscular junctions in maintaining muscle tone and preventing atrophy. Gain insights into neuromuscular junction diseases, including genetic disorders like Congenital myasthenic syndrome and autoimmune conditions such as myasthenia gravis. This in-depth exploration of the neuromuscular system is essential for students and professionals in medicine, pharmacology, and related fields.
