What is the role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction? Your answer: It binds to receptors and initiates a change in ion permeability that resutls in the contraction of the muscle cell. 3. Describe the process of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibers. Your answer: This is the entire process of the neuromuscular juntion leading to the end-plate potential.
Acetylcholine is also used as a neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system, both as an internal transmitter for the sympathetic nervous system and as the final product released by the parasympathetic nervous system.

They play an important role in arousal, attention, memory and motivation.
