A MRI scan is usually ordered to better visualize the damage to each of the components of the PLC and also to assess the status of the meniscus and articular cartilage of the knee. In certain cases where the PLC suffers a âsprainâ or a minor tear the injury may be able to be treated with non-operative measures.
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneural junction?
about which we have the most direct information is the synapse between a motor nerve terminal and the striated muscle cell it innervates. This synapse is called the neuromuscular junction, the myoneural junction, or the motor endplate. Much that we know about vertebrate synapses was first learned by studying the neuromuscular junction.
