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?
The particular synapse made between a spinal motor neuron and skeletal muscle cell is called the motor endplate because of its specific structure. The synapse at the neuromuscular junction has three characteristic features of chemical synapses in the nervous system. First, there is a distinct separation between the presynaptic and the postsynaptic membrane. The space between the two is known as the synaptic cleft.
