What happens to the muscle membrane when acetylcholine binds to receptors at the motor plate?

When acetylcholine binds to receptors at the motor plate, this binding opens ligand-gated ion channels on the motor end plate, ions diffuse through the open ligand gated ion channels, and the flow of ions causes the motor end plate to reach threshold and an action potential is generated at the motor end plate.
