MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -However, through the nicotinic cholinergic receptors, acetylcholine allows for skeletal muscle contraction; in the adrenal glands, the release of adrenaline and norepinephrine; and in the peripheral sympathetic ganglia, activation of the sympathetic system with the release of norepinephrine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acetylcholine in the synapse is broken down by an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase into choline and acetate. These products are reabsorbed and recycled so they can be used again in transmitting another chemical message.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that your body can’t function without. Their job is to carry chemical signals (“messages”) from one neuron (nerve cell) to the next target cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acetylcholine is stored in vesicles at the ends of cholinergic (acetylcholine-producing) neurons. In the peripheral nervous system, when a nerve impulse arrives at the terminal of a motor neuron, acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction.
