What is the chemical used at the junction with a skeletal muscle?

The chemical used at the junction with a skeletal muscle is acetylcholine (ACh). It is released from the motor neuron at the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors on the muscle fiber's membrane, triggering muscle contraction. This process is essential for voluntary movement and is part of the overall neuromuscular signaling mechanism.


What is the point of contact between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle cell called?

This point is often called the neuromuscular junction or motor end plate. ?The neurotransmitter used here is acetylcholine.Many diseases occur with dysfunction at this junction, like Myesthenia Gravis, botulism, or Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.


The axon terminals of a nerve cell and the sarcolemma of a skeletal muscle cell join at the?

The axon terminals of a nerve cell and the sarcolemma of a skeletal muscle cell join at the neuromuscular junction. This is where the nerve impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, which initiate muscle contraction by binding to receptors on the sarcolemma.
