What Is a Neuroglandular Junction?

A synapse between an axon and a glandular cell is termed neuroglandular junction. Structure of these junctions and the transmission of nerve impulse across them are similar to those of neuron-neuron synapse.

What is neuromuscular junction and its function?

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a highly specialized synapse between a motor neuron nerve terminal and its muscle fiber that are responsible for converting electrical impulses generated by the motor neuron into electrical activity in the muscle fibers.

What happens in a neuromuscular junction?

The neuromuscular junction is analogous to the synapse between two neurons. ... Upon stimulation by a nerve impulse, the terminal releases the chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine from synaptic vesicles. Acetylcholine then binds to the receptors, the channels open, and sodium ions flow into the end plate.
