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

Which neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?

ACETYLCHOLINE


The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?

Acetylcholine is the chemical that transmits signals across the neuromuscular junction. It binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction.


What does curare act by in the neuromuscular junction?

Curare acts by blocking nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the binding of acetylcholine to these receptors. This leads to muscle paralysis since acetylcholine is unable to initiate muscle contraction.


What does ach do at a neuromuscular junction?

Ach (acetylcholine) is a neurotransmitter that is released by motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction. It binds to receptors on muscle cells, leading to muscle contraction.


Why is it important for the release of acetylcholine to stop and for enzymes to destroy any remaining acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction?

What neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction?

Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction. It is responsible for transmitting signals from motor neurons to muscle fibers, leading to muscle contraction.


Is acetylcholine only found at the neuromuscular junction?

No, acetylcholine is not only found at the neuromuscular junction. It is a neurotransmitter that is also found in the brain and is involved in various functions such as memory, learning, and regulating the autonomic nervous system.

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?
