The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a?
The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a neuromuscular junction. This junction allows for communication between the nervous system and the muscular system, facilitating muscle contraction in response to nerve impulses.
What is the motor point of a nerve?
The motor point of a nerve is the location along the nerve where stimulation results in the most efficient muscle contraction. This point is usually located near where the nerve innervates the muscle and is commonly targeted in electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies.
What is the relatively fixed point of a muscle's attatchment to a bone called?
The relatively fixed point of a muscle's attachment to a bone is called the origin. It is typically located closer to the body's midline and usually remains stationary during muscle contraction.
What is the boiling point of BRAIN?
The boiling point of the human brain is around 98.6°F (37°C). This is the normal body temperature at which the brain functions optimally. Boiling the brain would lead to irreversible damage and death.
What position on the muscle cell where the nerve fibers connect?
The point where a nerve fiber connects to a muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction. This connection allows the nerve signal, or action potential, to be transmitted from the nerve to the muscle cell, triggering muscle contraction.

The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a neuromuscular junction. This junction allows for communication between the nervous system and the muscular system, facilitating muscle contraction in response to nerve impulses.
What are the different types of impulse in human neural system?
I'm not sure you're asking this question correctly. The human neural system has several nerves which send impulses to different parts of the brain in order to achieve different actions. In order for this to happen, the impulses have to travel through a variety of different channels. The chemical changes that occur for these impulses to successfully get from point A to point B, give those impulses different states. But there is only one "type" of impulse.
What tissue is specialized to conduct electrical impulses?
Nervous tissue is specialized to conduct electrical impulses in the body. It is made up of neurons that transmit signals by generating electrical impulses that travel along their length. These impulses allow for communication and coordination of activities in the body.
When having to much sex penis will not go hard again why?
The brain releases endorphins when we experience pleasure. After a certain point, the brain has all it needs or wants and stops sending the message to your penis to get hard. We only have sex or an orgasm in the brain. The penis and the rest of the body is just there to send nerve impulses to the brain. So basically , it's not the size of your penis that matters, but the size of your brain.
Why is the myelin sheath so important to the nervous system?
Myelin is a fatty substance that insulates and protects nerve cells and allows them to transmit electrical signals quickly.
What is the Motor point of muscle?
Motor Point is located where the moter nerve enters the muscle. It is where the muscle is most electically exciteable.
What does second order mean in human anatomy?
In human anatomy, second order refers to nerve fibers that transmit sensory information from the periphery to the spinal cord or brainstem. These fibers synapse with other neurons before relaying information to higher centers in the central nervous system.
What is the fixed point at the end of a muscle?
Fixed point at the end of the muscle is called as 'Insertion of the muscle.'
Do dogs dream in color?
Because animals do not possess language skills with which to describe their dreams, there is no way of knowing how they experience dreams or whether they perceive color in dreams. Brain scans and other technologies can record electrical impulses as they pass through a dog's brain as well as the brain's responses to specific stimuli. But technology cannot view dreams from the dog's point of view.
What is the motor point of a nerve?
The motor point of a nerve is the location along the nerve where stimulation results in the most efficient muscle contraction. This point is usually located near where the nerve innervates the muscle and is commonly targeted in electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies.
What is 'modality of sensation'?
Each type of the principal type of sensation that we experience pain , touch, sight ,sound and so forth is called modalities of sensation. We experience these different modalities of sensation, while nerve fibers transmit only impulses. How is it that different nerve fibers transmit different modalities of sensation? 1. Each nerve tract terminates at a specific point in the CNS, and the type of sensation is determined by the point in the nervous system to which the fiber leads. So touch stimulus is carried by nerve impulses in the touch area of the brain. Similarly fibers from the eyes (retina) terminates in the "visual Corteses" of the brain, touch stimuli carried by nerve impulses in the "touch" area of the brain. 2.Moreover, each receptor organ is specialized to receive a particular type of stimuli and this is carried to the particular area of the bran.
What type of cells is the hearts conduction system made of?
Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, particularly the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are identified as cardiac myocytes or cardiomyocytes. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. Cardiac muscle, different from skeletal muscle, is composed of separate cellular elements. A cardiac muscle cell has a large nucleus and numerous mitochondria. The elevated concentration of mitochondria reveals the huge energy burden that predominant the heart. Contractile proteins of actin and myosin myofilaments are in the cytoplasm. They form bands of varying density. The heart produces regular electrical impulses causing the muscle myofibrils to glide above one another and squeeze the cardiac muscle. Some cardiac cells are self-excitable, contracting devoid of any signal from the nervous system. Each of these cells have their own inherent contraction rhythm. A section of the human heart called the sinoatrial node, or pacemaker, sets the rate and timing that all cardiac muscle cells contract. The SA node generates electrical impulses, from the SA node spreading rapidly through the walls of the artria, causing both artria to contract in unison. The impulses also pass to another section of specialized cardiac muscle tissue, a convey point called the atrioventricular node AV bundle or artioventricular bundle or Bundle or His. This collection of heart muscle cells are also specialized for electrical conduction that transmits the electrical impulses from the AV node to the point of the apex of the fascicular branches. The fascicular branches then lead to the Purkinje fibers then conduct the signals to the apex of the heart along and throughout the ventricular walls. The Purkinje fibers form conducting pathways called bundle branches.
