Neuromuscular junctions in fast-twitch muscle fibres
A confocal micrograph of living nerve terminals on rat skeletal muscle fibre. It shows mature (18 weeks after birth) neuromuscular junctions on extensor digitorum longus (EDL, fast -twitch and non-postural) rat muscle fibres. Fluorescently labelled alpha-bungarotoxin, a snake toxin, has been used to visualise the regions of highly concentrated receptor proteins on the musce fibre surface. These al…
