- - - - Calcium entry causes the release of ACh neurotransmitter into synaptic cleft
        
        ACh diffused accoss to ACh receptor on sarcolemma
        
        ACh binding to the receptor opens the gates allowing NA+ to enter resulting in the end plate
        
        Acetylcholinesterase degrades ACh
- - - - Docking- attachment of the vesicle membrane becomes linked with the cell membrane
- - - - Tetany- quivering contraction
        
        Unfused- increase in stimulus frequency causes muscle to progress to
        sustained, quivering contraction
        
        Fused- contractions “fuse” into one
        smooth sustained contraction plateau
