Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscle cells most directly leads to a/an
A) action potential
B) end plate potential
C) autorhythmic potential
D) receptor potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscle cells leads to the opening of ligand-gated ion channels, allowing an influx of sodium ions into the cell and creating an end plate potential. This end plate potential is then responsible for triggering an action potential in the muscle cell. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
