Chemical Transmitters Carry the Signal Across Synapses & Neuromuscular Junctions
A contact between 2 nerves is called a synapse
At the synapse there is a break in electrical transmission (the action potential cannot cross)- instead chemicals are released that carry the signal to the next nerve
The release of chemical transmitters at nerve endings was first shown by Otto Loewi in the frog heart
A neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a contact between a nerve and a muscle- it is like a synapse, the action potential stops and the signal is carried by a chemical
As we know today in India we think that only those branches of engineering are important which are job oriented and others have no meaning for us.This has acted like a sabotage for the development of biomedical in the country
We can see easily that today people prefer to go outside the country after doing biomedical engineering for the purpose of post-graduation so that they can secure a good job there as in the world of developed nations people of our country are ready to mould themselves according to the circumstances present there. I personally feel that brain drain of biomedical engineers to west is taking place because of the lack of resources in our country and laziness of our leaders as well as students for the promotion of the resources available in the country
