Detailed explanation-1: -(A) Neurotransmitter (acetylcholine, ACh) released from nerve endings binds to receptors (AChRs) on the muscle surface. The ensuing depolarization causes sodium channels to open, which elicits an action potential that propagates along the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -The release of acetylcholine occurs when an action potential is relayed and reaches the axon terminus in which depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open and conduct an influx of calcium, which will allow the vesicles containing acetylcholine for release into the synaptic cleft.
Detailed explanation-3: -The acetylcholine binds to the nicotinic receptors concentrated on the motor end plate, a specialized area of the muscle fibre’s post-synaptic membrane. This binding causes the nicotinic receptor channels to open and let sodium ions enter the muscle fibre.
Detailed explanation-4: -When the nervous system signal reaches the neuromuscular junction a chemical message is released by the motor neuron. The chemical message, a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, binds to receptors on the outside of the muscle fiber. That starts a chemical reaction within the muscle.
