What neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction

Answer: Acetylcholine.

Explanation: Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that mediates many sinaptic functions in nervous system. When a motor neuron releases acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, it binds to nicotinic receptors in muscular fibers and activates a signal cascade that will free intracellular calcium ions, causing the contraction of the muscular fibers.
