Question

Excitation-contraction coupling is a series of events that occur after the events of the neuromuscular junction have transpired. The term excitation refers to which step in the process?

Answer 1

Answer:

Excitation refers to the generation of action potential along the sarcolemma.

Explanation:

Excitation-contraction coupling may be defined as the process in which an electrical stimulus can be converted into the mechanical response of the body.

The calcium ions are released in the process of excitation-contraction coupling. The release of calcium ions is responsible for the generation of action potential. This action potential is important for the contraction of the muscle.
