ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
Teach neuromuscular junctions in a novel way!
The neuromuscular junction (or synapse) is where a motor neuron meets a muscle fiber. Your students will make this model and follow what happens when an action potential reaches the presynaptic membrane. Your students will move ions through the channels for themselves to see what happens.
Topics covered include the structure of a neuromuscular junction, neurotransmitters, T tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum.
You can also show how it triggers muscle contraction by linking it to our Muscle Shuffle set.
Origami Organelles are downloadable paper models that you print and make as many times as you like! When you purchase a model, you are licensed for unlimited use on a single site or campus.
