Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Synopsis:

The transmission of impulses from nerve to muscle depends on a very rapid sequence of events beginning with the opening of voltage-dependent calcium channels in the presynaptic nerve terminal and ending with the generation of an action potential in the muscle fibre. The ready accessibility of the neuromuscular junction has made the whole process a prototype for synaptic interactions in general and over the last two decades, study of neuromuscular transmission has evolved to the extent that many of the events can be identified at the molecular level and related to specific membrane proteins. This book aims to provide an interdisciplinary account of the structure and development of the neuromuscular junction, the biochemical and physiological events associated with neuromuscular transmission, the use of neurotoxins as probes and the molecular structure of the highly specialized ion channels and other proteins involved. Throughout there is an emphasis on the application of modern techniques. It is hoped that this approach may stimulate the interest of students in many biological fields and provide a useful reference source for postgraduates and clinicians.
