New cards
New cards

contractility

ability to contract in response to a nerve impulse

New cards
New cards

first step of nerve stimulus

impulse reaches end of neuron at neuromuscular junction

New cards
New cards

second step of nerve stimulus

neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) is secreted into synaptic cleft between dendrite and muscle cell

New cards
New cards

third step of nerve stimulus

ACh binds to receptors on the sarcolemma (endomysium), opends gated sodium channels

New cards
New cards

fourth step of nerve stimulus

Na+ rush into cell, building action potential
