What is the neurotransmitter that is released at neuromuscular synapses to stimulate the release of calcium ions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction is ACh.When ACh is released from the axon,it diffuses across the synapse (synaptic cleft)and binds to receptor sites on the cell membrane of the muscle fiber (sarcolemma).Acetylcholine causes a wave of depolarization to spread across the muscle fiber to T-tubules,which conduct the wave of depolarization deep into the muscle fibers.As a result of the spreading wave of depolarization,calcium is released from its storage sites within the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
