Summary Introduction
To review:
The types and roles of the cation channels present in the motor-end-plate.
Introduction:
The neurons are able to transfer the information in the form of chemical or the electrical signals to the other neuron cells or to the muscle cells. When the information is conducted to the muscle cells, then the junction is called as the neuromuscular junction.
