A. Neurotransmitters diffuse across the membrane of neurons

Explanation:

When we begin to move, the brain initially sends a signal to the spinal cord, then the nerve cells in the spinal cord monitor the exact coordination of the muscles. Signal from the brain and the spinal cord directs the movement of leg muscles. Signal is transmitted by release of neurotransmitter from the neuron to the synaptic cleft and its binding to the receptor of adjacent neuron.

saveliy_v [14]

When an external stimulus crosses the threshold, a muscle fibre will respond.

<h3>The level of the threshold</h3>
  • For the identification of the electrical activity carried out by the active muscles, the threshold level is a crucial consideration.
  • A portion of the electrical activity carried out by the target muscles may be excluded if the chosen threshold level is higher than the overall activity.
<h3>What is the stimulus threshold for muscle contraction?</h3>
  • A certain stimulus magnitude is necessary for muscle contraction.
  • The threshold stimulus is the smallest amount of force needed for a stimulus to cause a muscle to contract in response.
  • If the stimulus intensity is less than this threshold value, there is no response.
