Neuromuscular synapse is the
through which the neural
passes from the axon a motor neuron
to muscle cell. This structure also
known as neuromuscular , or
motor end plate. in the nervous
synapse, axonal terminal membrane
releases neurotransmitter
acetylcholine in the between the
two cells. binds to specific
receptors the muscle membrane,
dependent channels then open
and depolarization of the muscle
begins. The impulse is
transmitted to the sarcoplasmic
that releases calcium ions
the sarcomeres of the thus
triggering contraction.
