Solution

A muscle cell is stimulated by a neurotransmitter that is released from a motor neuron. Ion channels open in the plasma membrane and sodium ions diffuse into the cell. The membrane depolarizes, or becomes less negative. Sodium ion channels close, but potassium channels remain open and loss of that ion repolarizes the membrane. The process just described is called action potential.
