The NMJ is the region where the efferent motor nerves connect with muscle tissue. When a signal is sent from the brain, down the spinal cord, to the nerve, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft (primary acetylcholine), which cause the muscle to contract.

Is acetylcholine only found at the neuromuscular junction?

No, acetylcholine is not only found at the neuromuscular junction. It is a neurotransmitter that is also found in the brain and is involved in various functions such as memory, learning, and regulating the autonomic nervous system.


What position on the muscle cell where the nerve fibers connect?

The point where a nerve fiber connects to a muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction. This connection allows the nerve signal, or action potential, to be transmitted from the nerve to the muscle cell, triggering muscle contraction.


What does ach do at a neuromuscular junction?

ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
