Evidence for the use of low frequency ultrasound to treat wounds is limited and consists of studies that lack adequate. sample sizes and proper control groups. Additional research with larger trials is needed to demonstrate that low. frequency ultrasound is beneficial for health outcomes in patients with wounds.
The neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, once it has diffused into the synapse, binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are found in the motor end plate. These receptors are ligand-gated ion channels, and once acetylcholine has binded to the receptors, it causes the channels to open.
A neuromuscular junction is a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. It is at the neuromuscular junction that a motor neuron is able to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction. Muscles require innervation to functionâand even just to maintain muscle tone, avoiding atrophy. Synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction begins when an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal of a motor neuron, which activates ...
