Difference between Alpha motor neuron and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Alpha motor neuron vs. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Alpha (α) motor neurons (also called alpha motoneurons), are large, multipolar lower motor neurons of the brainstem and spinal cord. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor proteins that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Similarities between Alpha motor neuron and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Alpha motor neuron and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Central nervous system, Chemical synapse, Neuromuscular junction, Neuron, Neurotransmitter.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Central nervous system

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

Chemical synapse

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands.

Neuromuscular junction

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

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Alpha motor neuron and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor Comparison

Alpha motor neuron has 113 relations, while Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor has 101. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 2.80% = 6 / (113 + 101).
