To stimulate skeletal muscle contraction,acetylcholine must cross the _____ of the neuromuscular junction and bind to receptors on the motor endplate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine must cross the synaptic cleft of the neuromuscular junction in order to bind to receptors on the motor endplate of the muscle cell membrane (sarcolemma). The node of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath of a nerve cell, transverse tubules are invaginations of the sarcolemma, and the synaptic end bulb is the swollen end of the axon terminal that contains vesicles filled with neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine.
