|
|
the denaturation of Acetylcholine to relax a muscle and stop a contraction.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The motor neurons release a chemical, which is picked up by the muscle fibre. This tells the muscle fibre to contract, which makes the muscles move. Neurons carry messages from the brain via the spinal cord. These messages are carried to the muscles which tell the muscle fibre to contract, which makes the muscles move.
Detailed explanation-2: -The neuromuscular junction-where nerves and muscle fibers meet-is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement.
