<span>After release into the synaptic cleft, neurotransmitters interact with receptor proteins on the membrane of the postsynaptic cell, causing ionic channels on the membrane to either open or close. When these channels open, depolarization occurs, resulting in the initiation of another action potential</span>

The postsynaptic cell becomes either more or less likely to fire an action potential.


If the postsynaptic cell is excited enough, it will continue passing the message to other cells.

A neuromuscular junction is a junction between a_________ and a ___________. A neuromuscular junction is a junction between a___
garri49 [273]

Answer:

myofibril bulbous end of axon and skeletal muscles fibres.

Explanation:o

It represents the  chemical synapse  of the axon bulbous ends  of the motor neuron ( motor end plate) and the skeletal Muscle fibres.

The influx of calcium ions into the bulbous ends leads to the fusion  and empty of the vesicles containing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.

The Neurotransmitters binds to the receptors on the muscles membrane to allow the transmission of action potential ( PSIP or  PSEP)across the synaptic gap  to the muscles fibers  to initiate  their  contraction or relaxation.
