    Acetylcholine receptors. Depolarization happens when Acetylcholine causes an area of the muscle fiber to become a little more positive when it leaves the nerve and docks on receptors in the muscle membrane. Large amounts of Na+ ions enter the muscle fiber because channels open after depolarization‚ and an action potential then spreads throughout the muscle fiber. The thick and thin filaments of the muscle fiber can then contract

For example we’ll use the calf muscle ( gastrocnemius).     This muscle is connected to the bone by a tendon which is connected to the epimysium. It then breaks down to the fascicles and finally to the muscle fiber ( cell) inside of the muscle fibers of the myofibril‚ inside of that is the those and thin filements. The thin

    four (4) functional characteristics of all muscle tissues -Excitability or Responsiveness- The ability to receive and respond to a stimulus that is any change in the environment whether inside or outside the body. In the case of muscle ‚the stimulus is usually a chemical for example - a neurotransmitter released by a nerve cell‚ or a local change in ph. The response is generation of of an electrical impulse that passes along the sarcolemma of the muscle cell and causes the cell to contract. Contractility-
