What is the Process by which ACh gets across cleft?
The transport process by which ACh is released into the synaptic cleft is called Exocytosis.
What is the chemical transmitter released at the neuromuscular junction?
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft to bind with receptors on muscle cells. Upon binding, the muscle cells contract.
What is the name of the cell that releases the neurotransmitters?
Exocytosis. As a result of the influx of Calcium ions, the synaptic vesicles transport the neurotransmitter Ach (Acetylcholine) to the presynaptic membrane, the vesicles fuse to the membrane, and the neurotransmiffer, Ach, diffuses. Once the neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft, they bind to the receptors on the post synaptic membrane. Hope it helps a bit.
What susbstance is found in synaptic vesicles of axon terminal?
Neurotransmiter, which may be Acetylcholine etc
What Are Ach levels?
See Acetylcholine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholine
Which structure contains vesicles with acetylcholine?
Synaptic vesicles in the neuromuscular junction contain acetylcholine (ACh) which is the neurotransmitter for initiating muscular contractions.

What is the chemical transmitter released at the neuromuscular junction?
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft to bind with receptors on muscle cells. Upon binding, the muscle cells contract.
What are the names of some common neurotransmitters?
Acetylcholine or aka ACH is the neurotransmitter that is released from the axon terminal to through the neuromuscular junction across the synaptic cleft which binds to the ACH receptors on the end motor plate of the Sarcolema.

After nervous stimulation stops ACh in the synaptic cleft is prevented from continuing stimulation of contraction by what?
acetylcholinesterase destroying the ACh
After nervous stimulation stops what prevents ACh in the synaptic cleft from continuing to stimulate contraction?
Acetylcholinesterase destroying the ACH
Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminal of a motor neuron contain what neurotransmitter?
Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters to be released into the synapses. In the case of most motoneurons, this neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (ACh). The neurons that interface with the sympathetic nervous system, also technically motoneurons, release norepinephrine.
Why physostigmine is the antidote for atropine?
Physostigmine inhibit AchE (the enzyme that hadrolyse Ach), so Ach accumulate at synaptic cleft and banish the effect of atropine
What is neuromusclular junction?
Connection between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber. Neuromuscular junction is made up of: 1. Axon ending of the motor neuron (contains the vessicles with acetylcholine ; neurotransmitter) 2. Motor end plate (portion of the sarcolemma that contacts the axon ending) 3. Synaptic cleft (space between the motor neuron and the motor end plate) Impulse--->axon ending--->release of ACH (acetycholine)--->ACH in the synaptic cleft--->ACH binds to the ACH receptors--->release of Calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum--->Calcium activates Troponin and Tropomyosin--->binding sites are exposed.
Where are ACh receptors found in the body?
At every junction between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers
