The effect of the neurotransmitter on the muscle cell membrane is to temporarily modify its permeability of ions such as Na⁺ and K⁺.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neurotransmitter binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to the opening or closing of ion channels which temporarily modify the permeability of ions such as Na⁺ and K⁺. This can lead to depolarization or hyperpolarization of the muscle cell, ultimately resulting in muscle contraction or relaxation.
