The response of skeletal muscle to the somatic motor neuron is always excitatory, resulting in muscle contraction. If it's always excitatory, what must happen at the level of the neuron to get a muscle to relax?
Homework Answers
The neuron must repolarise to get the muscle relax.
An excitatory neuron is always depolarizes during its stimulation and repolarizes rapidly which leads to the closure of ca2+ channels and dimnished or stops the release of acetylcholine. Hence the skeletal muscle relaxes.

Question 16 (1 point) What is the best description of a tetanic contraction in a skeletal muscle cell? A single action potential in the motor neuron causes a sustained contraction Multiple action potentials in the motor neuron cause a sustained contraction. The action potential in the muscle cell is prolonged to last as long as the contraction Repeated action potentials from the motor neuron summate into a sustained depolarization of the motor end plate, causing a sustained contraction ( A...

11. Acetylcholine is both an excitatory and inhibitory ligand depending on the location of its receptor. What does Acetylcholine do that makes it "excitatory"? a. It causes a cell membrane to depolarize and produce Excitatory Post Synaptic Potentials b. It opens K+ ion channels when it binds to its receptors c. It causes a cell membrane to hyperpolarize 12. The bonding of Acetylcholine to its muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle causes gated K+ channels to close. This action is described...

Why does a skeletal muscle cell need a neuromuscular junction as a component part? Skeletal muscle fibers are voluntary and thus must be stimulated by a neural impulse before they will contract. Through the neuron, the brain tells the muscle cell what proteins to produce and what wastes to pump out of the cell. The muscle cell needs to be told when to divide, such as when a person is exercising and needs more muscle. A neuron provides the necessary...
