Course Description

Overview

Explore the intricacies of the neuromuscular junction in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into its structure, function, and associated diseases, including a detailed examination of the synaptic cleft. Learn about neuromuscular transmission, the release of chemical neurotransmitters in the motor end plate, and the conversion of chemical messages into electrical signals. Understand the role of acetylcholine, its synthesis, storage, and release mechanisms. Examine the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic events at the neuromuscular junction, including the generation of action potentials and the function of various proteins and channels. Investigate motor end plate potentials and their comparison to action potentials. Study the termination of acetylcholine action and the recycling of choline. Gain insights into neuromuscular disorders such as Myasthenia Gravis and Eaton-Lambert Myasthenic Syndrome, including their mechanisms and treatments. This in-depth lecture provides a thorough understanding of neuromuscular junction physiology and pathology.
