Line 1: |
| A neuromuscular junction is an area where a [[Neurone|neurone]] meets a [[Muscle fibre|muscle fib]]re. The junction is stimulated by an [[Action potential|action potential]] arriving at the neurone which then causes an influx of [[Calcium ions|calcium ions]] into the [[Cell|cell]]. This goes on to cause the [[Vesicles|vesicles]] within the neurone containing [[Acetylcholine|acetylcholine]] to fuse with the membrane and travel across the junction and stimulate muscle contraction.
