Summary Introduction

To write:

The neurotransmitter which is released by the motor neuron present at the neuromuscular junction and to which type of receptor does this neurotransmitter gets attached.

Introduction:

In the skeletal muscles, the juncture where a terminal of motor neuron meets the muscle fiber is known “Neuromuscular Junction”. This is basically the site where the muscle fiber first receives the signals by the motor neuron. At this neuromuscular junction, the neuron’s Axon terminal releases some chemical messengers known neurotransmitters.
