Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Expert Answer. The given statement is true. The communication between the muscle cells and neurons occurs via the release of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine (ACh).
Detailed explanation-2: -In the somatic nervous system, acetylcholine is used at the neuromuscular junctions, triggering the firing of motor neurons and affecting voluntary movements.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why is the receptor the important element determining the effect a neurotransmitter has on a target cell? Different neurotransmitters have different receptors. Thus, the type of receptor in the postsynaptic cell is what determines which ion channels open.
