This will result to an excitatory postsynaptic potential ((EPSP)

Neurotransmitters are those chemical messages that transmits signals from nerve cells to their target cells.

Neurotransmitters are packed inside vesicles at the presynaptic nerve terminal.

The arrival of an action potential at this terminal leads to opening of Voltage gated channels.

This leads to a change in membrane voltage of the postsynaptic cell following the influx of positively charged ions (sodium ion) into the cell which is called the excitatory postsynaptic potential.

Therefore, excitatory postsynaptic potential ((EPSP) occurs when a neurotransmitter opens a chemically gated ion channel that allowing sodium to enter the postsynaptic cell.

When Lactate Builds Up In A Runner's Muscles, It Causes A Burning Sensation. What Causes This To Occur?
Fantom [35]

One of the most general forms of discomfort or pain one feels at the time of strenous work out is a burning sensation in the muscles or lungs, which goes away after some time, that is, after stopping the activity. This is a result of an accumulation of lactic acid.

Lactic acid is a by-product of the procedure the body goes through when it requires to generate energy more briskly that it does usually, like when one exercises.

The muscles functioning generally produce energy aerobically, that is, by using oxygen, however, when one push himself or herself at the time of workout and enough oxygen is not accessible, then these muscles start producing energy anaerobically, resulting in production of lactic acid as a by-product and ultimately causing burning sensation.

When acetylcholine binds to receptors at the motor end plate, the end plate membrane becames:__________a. repolarized. b. more p
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d. more permeable to sodium ions.

Explanation:

The binding of Acetylcholine  with the receptors at  motor end plate facilitate   membrane permeability to sodium ions therefore  opening of voltage gated channels for sodium ions.

Sodium ions diffused into the synapse of post synaptic neuron at the neuromuscular junction.

If  the  stimulus is up to threshold levels; more chemical(neurotransmitter) gated sodium channels opens, and sodium ions move into the  synapse to depolarize the membrane with  reversal of charges to generate action potential.

The continuous  binding of Acetycholine , leads to permanent opening of sodium ions,and over excitation from depolarization.  Acetycholinesterase enzymes breakdown Acetycholine to choline  and Acetyl Co -A. These are recycle back to Acetycholiine
