    Muscle Cell at rest: As the muscle cell is at rest it has a resting potential of -90mV.  The K+ is all located inside the cell‚ the Na+ is located outside  of the cell and the Ca2+ is located inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum.  All leak channels and pumps are closed at this point. Muscle Cell stimulated by Acetylcholine: A motor neuron releases Acetylcholine which diffuses toward the  muscle cell across the neuromuscular junction. As the Acetylcholine  binds to a receptor on the muscle
