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 junction between the axon terminals of a neuron and the receiving cell is called a synapse. (Synapses at muscle fibers are also called neuromuscular junctions or myoneural junctions 1  .). Action potentials travel down the axon of the neuron to its end(s), the axon terminal(s). Transmission between neurons is as much as ten times faster than in chemical synapses. 2  Thus electrical synapses can mediate, for example, the very rapid escape response of crayfish that encounter a threat. 3  Electrical synapses in the CNS permit groups of interneurons to fire together.
