impulses at the neuromuscular junction (Porth‚ 2002). Transmission of impulses at the neuromuscular junction is mediated by the release of the neurotransmitter actycholine at pre- and post ganglionic parasympathetic‚ and pre- ganglionic sympathetic and somatic nerves (Murray‚ Daly‚ Little‚ Cadogan‚ 2007).

Porth states studies “suggest there are more than one million binding sites
