In addition, the neurotransmitter can bind to any one of the nearby smooth muscle cells, a flexibility not found in the NMJ. The chemicals that influence smooth muscle cells: As you'll recall, there is only one neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction-acetylcholine.
In vertebrates, motor neurons release acetylcholine (ACh), a small molecule neurotransmitter, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on the cell membrane of the muscle fiber, also known as the sarcolemma.
