Question
based on its molecular properties, nicotine will have what effect on skeletal muscle contraction? multiple choice increases in contraction or contraction is more likely to happen decreases in contraction or contraction is less likely to happen effects on the motor neuron, but not on the muscle tissue itself nicotine has no effect on muscle cells
Nicotine acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular - junction. Binding of nicotine to these receptors can lead to depolarization of the muscle cell membrane, which increases the likelihood of muscle contraction.
