Why the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is not considered a hormonal event?

Because it is released by a motor neuron and not an endocrine gland. Hormones are released only by glands.

The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?
Acetylcholine
What does ach do at a neuromuscular junction?
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
Why is it important for the release of acetylcholine to stop and for enzymes to destroy any remaining acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction?
it has caca
Why is it so important for the release of acetylcholine to stop and for enzymes to destroy any remaining acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction?
it has caca
When an action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction the most immediate response?
acetylcholine is released
Which neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?
ACETYLCHOLINE
The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?
Acetylcholine
Is acetylcholine only found at the neuromuscular junction?
False
What does ach do at a neuromuscular junction?
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
What neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?
acetylecholine
Why is it important for the release of acetylcholine to stop and for enzymes to destroy any remaining acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction?
it has caca

When an action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction the most immediate response?
acetylcholine is released
Skeletal muscle fiber contraction begins when?
Acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction by the axon terminal
What is a critical event that occurs at the neuromuscular junction?
Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.
At the neuromuscular junction, the muscle contraction initiation event is?
binding of acetylcholine to membrane receptors on the sarcolemma
What is the difference between depolarizing and non-depolarizing drugs?
nondepolarizing meds act as an antagonist to acetylcholine at the myoneural junction in the muscle. Polarizing will mimick the effects of acetylcholine and cause membrane depolarization at the neuromuscular junction. In other words, look over your action potential.
