ATP is required and used in may process by cells and it one action is indeed nervous system related. Activity-dependent release of ATP from synapses, axons and glia activates purinergic membrane receptors in muscles it is used as a signalling molecule. However, note that ATP is required for the shortening of actin and myosin filament crossbridges required for muscle contraction. This latter process is one of the main energy requirements of animals and is essential for locomotion and respiration. The source of this ATP is not from the nervous system.
