Neuromuscular Junction

Neuromuscular junctions or neurosyncytia are specialized contacts that connect sensory and motor neurons to skeletal muscles. They ensure the transmission of excitation between the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Neuromuscular fibers are divided into several types depending on their innervation. For example, there is α- and β-motoneuron synthesis to transmit excitatory signals to muscles and γ-syntin to transmit inhibitory signals. There are also special nerve fiber switches that change the information transmitted along the nerve fiber depending on environmental conditions.

In general, nervous
