Briefly describe the response of the ileum to the direct addition of noradrenaline. (5) 2) What was the final bath concentration of acetylcholine you used? Briefly describe the response of the ileum to the direct addition of acetylcholine. (5) 3) Since an inhibitory response to nerve stimulation was observed

the muscle fibres and is related by the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. (Silverthorn‚ 2007) In the skeletal muscle‚ action potential in the nerves is generated when the somatic motor neurons releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)‚ at the neuromuscular junction. This initiates muscle action potential which is then transmitted to the t-tubules. Action potential in the t-tubules leads to the release of calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggering muscle contraction

motor neuron with the muscle cells it innervates 4. Name and describe the parts of a neuromuscular junction. Motor neurons connect to the sarcolemma of a muscle fiber at a folded motor end plate forming a neuromuscular junction. 5. What do acetylcholine and cholinesterase do? Ach initiates an electrical impulse in the sarcolemma and cholinesterase degrades Ach after it diffuse away from its receptor on the motor end plate 6. Bundles of muscular fibers are called _____fascicles__________________________

type of ion channels? ___________chemically-gated______________ 6. Opening of these channels leads to ______depolarization_________ of the motor endplate. 7. How is the neurotransmitter removed from the synaptic cleft? Acetylcholine diffuses away from the receptor and is broken down by acetylcholinesterase 8. As a result of question 6‚ an action potential is propagated along the ________sarcolemma_________ of the muscle cell and down the _______T tubules________

agent such as metocurine iodide (metubine). This would interrupt skeletal muscles‚ without depolarizing the end plate (metocurine - PubChem.‚ n.d.). To examine how interrupting skeletal muscle contractions work and the role acetylcholine plays‚ the role of an acetylcholine antagonists such as metubine becomes in the reduction of convulsive states during electroconvulsive therapy will be more clear. In a nerves stimulus event an electrical signal is propagated through the length of the axon of
