MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Simply put, the somatic nervous system innervates skeletal muscle, whereas the ANS innervates glands, neurons of the gastrointestinal tract, and cardiac and smooth muscles of glandular tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -End plate potentials (EPPs) are the voltages which cause depolarization of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. They are called “end plates” because the postsynaptic terminals of muscle fibers have a large, saucer-like appearance.
