The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synaptic connection between the terminal end of a motor nerve and a muscle (skeletal/ smooth/ cardiac). It is the site for the transmission of action potential from nerve to the muscle. It is also a site for many diseases and a site of action for many pharmacological drugs.

What happens at the neuromuscular junction when the action potential arrives at the axon terminal? The action potential causes the calcium gates to open allowing calcium ions to enter the axon terminal and the synaptic vesicles move toward the membrane.
In the sliding filament theory, myosin heads attach to an actin filament, bend to pull the actin filaments closer together, then release, reattach, and pull again.
When a nerve impulse releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from the nerve terminal, it binds to channel-shaped receptor molecules on the end plate, opening the channels and allowing positively charged sodium ions to flow into the muscle cell. This redistribution of ions slightly depolarizes the membrane.
The process of muscular contraction occurs over a number of key steps, including:Depolarisation and calcium ion release.Actin and myosin cross-bridge formation.Sliding mechanism of actin and myosin filaments.Sarcomere shortening (muscle contraction)
(b) Motor nerve -> synaptic cleft -> sarcolemma -> troponin -> sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The EC-coupling cycle involves the following sequence of events: (1) depolarization of the plasma membrane and its membrane invaginations (the t-tubular system) by an action potential; (2) transduction of the depolarization signal to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane; (3) activation of Ca2+ release from the SR ...
