NERVE STIMULUS COMPUTER AP in nerve 3 ms ELECTRICAL EVENTS IN MUSCLE IN RESPONSE TO NERVE STIMULUS Could this be a direct transfer of electrical information from nerve to muscle?
NOT! Motor nerve endings are too small for electrical synaptic transmission! Instead, the electrical events recorded in the muscle in response to nerve stimulation are due to the release of acetylcholine (ACh) contained within synaptic vesicles in the motor nerve ending. ACh synaptic vesicle
NERVE STIMULUS EPP Produced by acetylcholine release from nerve endings acting on nicotinic receptors and called end-plate potentials (EPPS)
NERVE STIMULUS MAP End-plate potential (EPP) NORMALLY an EPP produces a muscle action potentials (MAP) and a muscle twitch

It is called synaptotagmin. .
