The Neuromuscular Junction

Classic Model of Synaptic Excitation

Jaya TiwariFebruary 23, 2009

Ach binds to nicotinic receptors, causing channels to open, causing a postsynaptic EPC that leads to a postsynaptic EPP

Adding HH Na and K channels

A very small difference in the transmitter-gated current can determine whether or not the postsynaptic membrane fires.
