Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The steps followed by action potential produced in motor-end-plate of neuromuscular junction to cause contraction of muscle fiber.

Introduction:

The stimulation of an excitable cell generates the action potential. When an action potential is generated, the inside of the plasma membrane gets positively charged relative to the outside of the cell. The development of charges occurs due to the movement of ions across the plasma membrane through the ion channels present over them.
