Name the neuromuscular transmitter that is released at the axon terminal.
A)sodium ions
B)calcium ions
C)ATP
D)creatine phosphate
E)acetylcholine

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine is the neuromuscular transmitter that is released at the axon terminal to signal contraction of skeletal muscle fibers. Sodium and calcium ions play important roles in the action potential that leads to the release of acetylcholine, but they are not themselves the neurotransmitter. ATP and creatine phosphate are molecules involved in energy metabolism, but do not function as neurotransmitters.
