What are the effects of nonquantal release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction?
A) This nonquantal release creates a slow dribble of ACh that has no effects on the postsynaptic muscle cell because it is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.
B) This nonquantal release creates a slow dribble of ACh that depolarizes the postsynaptic muscle cell because it escapes being degraded by acetylcholinesterase.
C) This nonquantal release creates a large amount of ACh that can cause the postsynaptic muscle cell to fire an action potential.
D) This nonquantal release is much less than is released during spontaneous quantal release (mEPPs) .
E) Nonquantal release does not occur at the neuromuscular junction.
