Figure 9.8 Events at the Neuromuscular Junction (2 of 4) Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors in the sarcolemma. Ca2+ Ca2+ Synaptic vesicle containing ACh Axon terminal of motor neuron Synaptic cleft Fusing synaptic vesicles ACh Sarcoplasm of muscle fiber
ACh binding opens ion channels that allow simultaneous passage of Na+ into the muscle fiber and K+ out of the muscle fiber. 5 K+ Na+ Postsynaptic mem- brane ion channel opens; ions pass. Figure 9.8 Events at the Neuromuscular Junction (3 of 4)
Resting Potential of muscle cells – • Potassium higher inside • Sodium higher outside • A voltage difference of about 90 mvolts • Action Potential – • A wave of depolarization that propogates from the point of stimulation over the entire membrane, followed by a wave of repolarization.
