Reinnervation of motor endplate-containing and motor endplate-less muscle grafts.
Damaged muscle fibers degenerate and are phagocytosed, but their connective tissue sheaths and myogenic cells survive. New myofibers regenerate within the connective tissue sheath and functional reinnervation is restored. The present study compared regenerating myofibers and their reinnervation in muscle grafts where the original motor endplates were removed and when they were present. In regen...
متن کاملThe Fine Structure of Motor Endplate Morphogenesis
The fine structure of the developing neuromuscular junction of rat intercostal muscle has been studied from 16 days in utero to 10 days postpartum. At 16 days, neuromuscular relations consist of close membrane apposition between clusters of axons and groups of myotubes. Focal electron-opaque membrane specializations more intimately connect axon and myotube membranes to each other. What relation...
متن کاملMotor endplate cholinesterase in human skeletal muscle.
The activity and properties of cholinesterase (ChE) of the motor endplate and its fractions were studied in isolated human skeletal muscle. This preparation was used since the ChE activity of the membrane preparation was localized only in the motor endplate. The endplate ChE was stable in the isolated membrane for 4 weeks at 4 degrees C. The specific activity of the extracted ChE of human muscl...
متن کاملRegulation of motoneuron excitability via motor endplate acetylcholine receptor activation.
Motoneuron populations possess a range of intrinsic excitability that plays an important role in establishing how motor units are recruited. The fact that this range collapses after axotomy and does not recover completely until after reinnervation occurs suggests that muscle innervation is needed to maintain or regulate adult motoneuron excitability, but the nature and identity of underlying me...
متن کاملMotor endplate remodeling in some cases with congenital myasthenic syndrome.
The architecture of motor endplates in three cases with congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) was compared with ultrastructure of the normal control neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The remodeling of postsynaptic region was observed in all three individuals. The most conspicuous abnormalities seen in the slow channel syndrome was the vacuolization and disorganization of secondary synaptic clefts wh...
