Exocytosis and the Neuromuscular Junction: How Does Botox Work? Exocytosis is the process in which secretory vesicles are exported out of the cell membrane. These vesicles contain proteins which are then transported to parts outside the cell (Wilfred D. Stein‚ 2012). Neurotransmitters are released during this process into the synaptic cleft. These transmitters attract other transmitters to muscle membrane infoldings‚ which are called junction folds (Etherington & Hong‚ 2011). They diffuse across

commonly diagnosed CP in children is called spastic cerebral palsy. This mean the child cannot control or relax his or her muscles. This affects “70-80% of patients” (www.ucp.org). The muscles seem stiff and cannot be relaxed voluntarily. Subcategories of this type are defined by how much of the body is affected. In diplegia both of the legs are affected; in hemiplegia only one side of the body is affected. Finally the most common form of spastic CP is quadriplegia in which the entire body

Additionally‚ there is a mixed type that demonstrates a combination of features of the other three types and hypotonic type that show decrease in muscle tone. Spastic subtype is classified according to the topographic distribution of muscle spasticity as diplegia‚ hemiplegia or quadriplegia.

CEREBRAL PALSY Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common congenital disorders of childhood. It is a medical condition caused by a permanent brain injury that occurs before (Prenatal)‚ during (Perinatal)‚ or shortly after birth (Postnatal). Thus the malformation of the brain can exist at birth or caused by factors occurring during the birthing process or after. Cerebral palsy is a non- progressive disease; however‚ the effects have been known to change over time. This non curable
