... • As AcCh released across synapse, binds to muscle cell membrane. Causes depolarization of muscle cell membrane, which passes down muscle cell. Releases Ca ++ ions, which triggers muscle contraction. • If AcCh not removed, membrane remains depolarized, no more impulses. So must quickly get rid of Ac ...
