How Does Acetylcholine Stimulate Muscle Contraction?
How Does Acetylcholine Stimulate Muscle Contraction? Skeletal muscle contraction and changes with exercise. (A) Neurotransmitter (acetylcholine, ACh) released from nerve endings binds to receptors (AChRs) on the muscle surface. The ensuing depolarization causes sodium channels to open, which elicits an action potential that propagates along the cell. How does acetylcholine affect muscle contraction? When acetylcholine
