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 narrow space that separates the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fiber in a neuromuscular junction called?
Neuromuscular junction or neuromuscular synapse
When an action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction the most immediate response?
acetylcholine is released
What describes a critical event that occurs at the neuromuscular junction?
Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.
Why the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is not considered a hormonal event?
Because it is released by a motor neuron and not an endocrine gland. Hormones are released only by glands.
Describe the path a nerve impulse travels throughout your body from stimulus to response?
Brain send the message via nerve impulses involving neurons which use the neuro-transmitter AcetylcholineAcetylcholine- a neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction triggers a muscle action potential, which leads to muscle contraction
Which neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?
ACETYLCHOLINE
How do bones and muscles work to have movement?
The neuromuscular junction. A chemical called neurotransmitter is released from a neuron to stimulate the muscle fibers to contract.
What neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?
acetylecholine
What is the narrow space that separates the motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fiber in a neuromuscular junction called?
Neuromuscular junction or neuromuscular synapse
When an action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction the most immediate response?
acetylcholine is released
What is a critical event that occurs at the neuromuscular junction?
Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.
Skeletal muscle fiber contraction begins when?
Acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction by the axon terminal
Name the neuromuscular transmitter that is released at the axon bulb?
acetylcholine
What describes a critical event that occurs at the neuromuscular junction?
Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.
Why the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is not considered a hormonal event?
Because it is released by a motor neuron and not an endocrine gland. Hormones are released only by glands.
What receptors are present in frog's rectus abdominus muscle?
Nicotinic receptors are commonly present in the neuromuscular junction (neuromuscular endplate). They respond to acetylcholine released from the terminals of motor neurons by opening to allow deploarizing K+ flow.
