In theory, could a muscle cell get away with having only acetylcholine-gated cation channels, which would serve the dual purpose of receiving neurotransmitter signals and propagating action potentials? Why or why not?
Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme that breaks down and inactivates acetylcholine. Some nerve gases used as chemical weapons block acetylcholinesterase. What effect would such nerve gases have on muscle contraction?

They improve the accuracy of the reported sensory information by innervating extrafusal fibers e. They enhance the force of muscle contraction by innervating extrafusal fibers
When curare, a neuromuscular poison, is dropped onto an isolated muscle-nerve preparation in a laboratory, the muscle does not contract when the nerve is stimulated, even though neurotransmitter is released from the nerve cell. Why does this happen? How might this action of curare be lethal to an individual who has been poisoned?
Why does muscle CAP Amp for both the normal Ringer's solution and Ringer's solution with Neostigmine increased as the stimulus amplitude increased, but a normal Ringer's solution would have a larger muscle CAP Amp value? Why is this the same case for a CAP Period as stimulus amplitude increases?. Why would Muscle CAP Period values for Ringer's with NEO then have larger values. Why does a normal Ringer's solution take longer to reach maximum action potential ?
In light of the “all or none” law of muscle contraction, how can you explain twitch recruitment (also called the graded response) when stimulating the muscle versus stimulating the nerve? Explain the difference in stimulation voltage required to elicit a maximum response when stimulating the nerve versus the muscle directly?
Which of the following would be recruited in a muscle stimulation when contractile strength increases?

The acetylcholine receptor is a ligand-gated channel that produces Multiple Choice a) repolarization by activating second messenger systems within the muscle fiber. b) hyperpolarization by allowing Na+ ions to exit the muscle fiber. c) depolarization by allowing Cl- ions to enter the muscle fiber. d) depolarization by allowing K+ ions to leave the muscle fiber. e) depolarization by allowing Na+ ions to enter the muscle fiber.
Why does repeated stimulation of the muscle (at maximum stimulus) before it has completely recovered from the previous contraction lead to increasing force of contractions?
