Difference between Muscular system and Neurotoxin

Muscular system vs. Neurotoxin

The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. Neurotoxins are toxins that are poisonous or destructive to nerve tissue (causing neurotoxicity).

Similarities between Muscular system and Neurotoxin

Muscular system and Neurotoxin have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Adenosine triphosphate, Calcium, Cerebellum, Fasciculation, Mitochondrion, Motor neuron, Muscle, Muscle contraction, Nervous system, Neuromuscular junction, Neurotransmitter, Paralysis, Synapse, Tetanus.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a complex organic chemical that participates in many processes.

Fasciculation

A fasciculation, or muscle twitch, is a small, local, involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation which may be visible under the skin.

Mitochondrion

The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms.

Motor neuron

A motor neuron (or motoneuron) is a neuron whose cell body is located in the motor cortex, brainstem or the spinal cord, and whose axon (fiber) projects to the spinal cord or outside of the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands.

Nervous system

The nervous system is the part of an animal that coordinates its actions by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

Neuromuscular junction

A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Paralysis

Paralysis is a loss of muscle function for one or more muscles.

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.

Tetanus

Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is an infection characterized by muscle spasms.
