Summary Introduction

To determine: The role of ATP in muscle contraction and steps involved in muscle contraction. 

Introduction: The action potential travels down the axon from dendrites to the axon terminal because the dendrites are present to perceive sensory signals which travel down the axon from one node of Ranvier to another node of Ranvier. The nerve impulse is carried from axon terminal to another neuron through synaptic cleft that is only formed near axon terminal.
