    The document describes the molecular mechanism of muscle contraction in 3 steps: 1) An action potential travels down the motor neuron and causes the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. 2) Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane and causes an action potential within the muscle cell. 3) The action potential in the muscle cell triggers the release of calcium ions, which bind to troponin on the protein filaments actin and myosin and allow the muscle to contract.
