38.

What happens in the neuromuscular junction? Put in order


1. Acetylcholinesterase degrades Ach

2. ACh diffuses across to ACh receptors (Na+ chemical gates) on the sarcolemma

  1. 3. Electrical impusle arrives at the axon terminal

4. Calcium entry causes the release of ACh neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft

5. ACh binding to receptors, opens gates, allowing Na+ to enter resulting in motor end-plate potential

6. Voltage-gated calcium channels open, calcium enters the motor neuron
