Starting with the release of acetylcholine what are the steps in muscle contraction?

Acetylcholine released by the motor neuron at the neuromuscular junction changes the permeability of the cell membrane at the motor end plate. The permeability change allows the influx of positive charge, which triggers an action potential. The action potential spreads across the entire surface of the muscle fiber and into the interior via T tubules. The cytoplasmic concentration of calcium ions (released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum) increases, triggering the start of a contraction. The contraction ends when AChE removes the ACh from the synaptic cleft and motor end plat

Why is it if a person steps on a nail you move your foot fact which nervous system tell you to respond to the contraction?

If a person steps on a nail and moves his or her foot fast, it is an example of a reflex from the peripheral nervous system that registers pain from the contraction. More accurately, it is a crossed-extensor reflex.

What steps are involved in the process of making tiles out of crushed shells?

The steps involved are: * pass the crushed shells through a kiln. This gives lime (calcium hydroxide), from the calcium carbonate which forms the shells. *now, add the lime to fine sand and press the mixture into tile shape *finally, pass the tiles through the kiln again under high pressure This results in calcium silicate tiles
