What happens when binding acetylcholine to the chemically gated ion channels on the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber?

When acetylcholine binds to the chemically gated ion channels on the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber, it causes these channels to open, allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell. This influx of sodium ions depolarizes the muscle fiber membrane, generating an action potential. The action potential then triggers the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, ultimately leading to muscle contraction.


What is sarcolemma function?

What is the difference between endomysium and sarcolemma?

The endomysium is a connective tissue sheath that surrounds individual muscle fibers, providing support and elasticity. The sarcolemma, on the other hand, is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber, responsible for controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
