Which neurotransmitter is used to control skeletal muscle contraction?
|
Dopamine
|
|
Seratonin
|
|
Norepinephrine
|
|
Acetylcholine
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle contraction is controlled by receptors in the muscle cell membranes that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine when it is released from motor neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ACh molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to the muscle fiber receptors, thereby initiating a muscle contraction. Muscle contraction is initiated with the depolarization of the sarcolemma caused by the sodium ions’ entrance through the sodium channels associated with the ACh receptors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at neuromuscular junctions, at synapses in the ganglia of the visceral motor system, and at a variety of sites within the central nervous system.
