The autonomic nervous system carries signals to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands.

Acetylcholinesterase promotes muscle relaxation by degrading acetylcholine that remains in the synaptic cleft.

The ability of muscle tissue to return to its original shape after being stretched is:

The two types of neural circuits are diverging and converging.

Neurons are responsible for sending and receiving signals referred to as action potentials while neuroglial cells serve a variety of supportive functions.

Electrical gradients exist because sodium and potassium ions are separated on either side of the plasma membrane.

Which type of fiber has the largest diameter?

Decreased oxygen availability leads to muscular fatigue.

Conduction speed of a nerve impulse is influenced by the diameter of the axon and the presence or absence of a myelin sheath.

The narrow gap of space between the axon terminal and the muscle fiber into which acetylcholine is released is called:
