The short answer is residual calcium. Calcium mediates both transmitter release on the presynaptic side of the neuromuscular junction (where nerve meets muscle spindle) and calcium also mediates binding of the actin-myosin bridges that cause muscle contraction.

The longer answer is much more interesting but takes some technical background. For a starters try a neurobiology textbook.

When compared with the energy of an electron in th first shell of a carbon atom the energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is?

The energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is higher than in the first shell because electrons in shells that are further from the nucleus have higher energy levels. This is due to the increased distance from the positively charged nucleus in the atom, which decreases the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron.


How do you change your monitor?

Does the monitor want to change? They say, "Change comes from within!" First, unplug the unwanted monitor from the wall. Then, remove the data cord from the back of your computer. You may need to twist two screws counter-clockwise to release them. Carefully move the monitor out of the way. Now follow these instructions in reverse to install the new device. In rare situations, you may need to install software called "drivers" that should have been packed with your monitor on a CD. This is extremely unlikely, but worth mentioning. Have fun!
