Receive stimulatory impulses to contract and inhibitory impulses to stop contraction from the neuromuscular junction. This contraction is carried out by Ca2+, ATP and the actin and myosin proteins in the cells, forming a sarcomere. By contracting and relaxing as a syncytium, the leg muscle can control the joint(s) it crosses and produce movement.
