Difference between Action potential and Neuroeffector junction

Action potential vs. Neuroeffector junction

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. A neuroeffector junction is a site where a motor neuron releases a neurotransmitter to affect a target—non-neuronal—cell.

Similarities between Action potential and Neuroeffector junction

Action potential and Neuroeffector junction have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Central nervous system, Depolarization, Exocytosis, Gap junction, Hyperpolarization (biology), Ion channel, Ligand-gated ion channel, Micrometre, Myocyte, Nanometre, Nerve, Neuromuscular junction, Neurotransmitter, Peripheral nervous system, Potassium channel, Schwann cell, Synapse.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Exocytosis

Exocytosis is a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters and proteins) out of the cell (exo- + cytosis) by expelling them through an energy-dependent process.

Gap junction

A gap junction may also be called a nexus or macula communicans.

Hyperpolarization (biology)

Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative.

Ion channel

Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through the channel pore.

Ligand-gated ion channel

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

Micrometre

The micrometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American spelling), also commonly known as a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equaling (SI standard prefix "micro-".

Nanometre

The nanometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm) or nanometer (American spelling) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth (short scale) of a metre (m).

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.

Peripheral nervous system

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of the two components of the nervous system, the other part is the central nervous system (CNS).

Potassium channel

Potassium channels are the most widely distributed type of ion channel and are found in virtually all living organisms.

Schwann cell

Schwann cells (named after physiologist Theodor Schwann) or neurolemmocytes are the principal glia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

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.
