Muscle contraction is initiated by a signal sent by the central nervous system by the release of .

  1. cyclic adenosine monophosphate
  2. acetylcholine
  3. acetyl coenzyme A
  4. cyclic guanosine monophosphate

Answer

(2) acetylcholine

Solution

As per NCERT, muscle contraction is initiated by a signal sent by the CNS via a motor neuron. A neural signal reaching the neuromuscular junction releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which generates an action potential in the sarcolemma; this spreads through the muscle fibre and causes the release of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasm, leading to contraction.
