They are generally brief and have refractory periods

They decrease in size with distance

They involve transmitter-gated channels

They are able to sum

They produce a graded response

It would reduce the size of the AP in the terminal 

It would reduce the number of vesicles produced at the terminal

It could hyperpolarize the terminal

It would reduce the number of vesicles docked at the terminal

It would reduce the number of vesicles primed at the terminal

Voltage gated ion channels

 Transmitter-gated sodium channels

Vesicle release in the active zone

G-protein coupled channels

Voltage gated potassium channels

The EPP does not lose current as it spreads electrotonically away from the end plate

The EPP is an unusually large post-synaptic response of about 40 mV

The pre-docking of the vesicles ensures the EPP is able to cause the release of large amounts of transmitter

The EPP activates G proteins to regenerate the potential

The folded nature of the neuromuscular junction prevents loss of current

Allow it to synthesize Acetylcholine

Release Chlorine gas to carry information across the synapse

Catabolize the combination of choline and acetic acid

Break it down to the acetyl group and the choline molecule

Enzymatically catalyze the synthesis of AcetylcholineEsterase
