Question 4

Question
Choose the correct statements about the NMJ.
Answer
  • The axon coming to the NMJ is commonly unmyelinated.
  • The NMJ can have multiple motor end plates.

Answer
  • Motor neuron and the muscle it innervates
  • Motor neuron
  • Motor neuron, and all the muscles it innervates

Question 7

Question
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disease which blocks the ACh receptors, meaning signals from the motor neuron do not reach the NMJ and muscle.
